The above photograph was taken at the
Manor House (Hertford Manor) in Woodborough, it was sent to us from the States
with no information except that it came with other photographs of the Burnett
family. The Burnetts rented the Manor from William Bradshaw from about 1889
until 1915 when Mr Bradshaw sold the property.
The earliest Trade Directory entry which lists a Burnett is 1893 and the last 1912. Mr Arthur Burnett was listed as a farmer and Shire horse breeder and from 1904 Mrs Arthur [Emily] Burnett as running a stud farm. Local burial records show that Arthur died in February 1904. The photograph portrays mainly soldiers, possibly from the First World War era (1914-1918); it is therefore probable that the Manor was being used at that time as a place for wounded soldiers to recuperate. Burnett family members thought to be alive in 1914 are Emily aged 48, Clifford aged 35, John aged 30, Elizabeth aged 28, Kathleen aged 21 and Thomas aged 16. We would appreciate any further information about this photograph and in particular, who the ladies were. If there are Burnetts in the photo, it would have been taken between 1914 and 1915, the Manor was sold in 1915. Email to: enquiries@woodborough-heritage.org.uk |
