Hi List Would anyone have an idea where I could find some information on Shrubland Park in Barham Ipswich. I have googled a fair amount about ownership etc, but I have an old postcard of Shrubland found in my Great Grandfathers correspondence, which has hand written on it : "Shrubland Park Beautiful Estate designed by William Fraiers for Sir William Middleton now belonging to Lady De Laumaurez, Maze 12 ft of Box" As I said I can google info about who owned Shrubland and that it was designed by James Pain and that the gardens were designed by Sir Charles Barry etc, but would there be records of gardeners at the estate or who worked there around 1850? My ancestors were Faiers living in Barham on the 1851 census and I wondered if Willliam Faiers may have been a gardener there. Would the SRO have records of this type? Thank you in advance Janine

Hello Janene, we may have talked before but possibly not about the Fayers line? Although i am not actually connected to the Fayers line myself i do have a little information on the line. The earliest i have is Samuel with no dates. The most information i have is of their descendants. Could you please contact me off list.

Hi Janine This is a silly question but did he die in 1871 in Lavenham? My husband has some Faiers in his line.

Yes it is still there, I drive past sometimes on my way to Copdock area. The De Saumarez family sold up in 2006. Very popular venue for motorcycle scrambles.
