The family seat - Eridge castle

 Eridge Castle is the family seat of the Nevill family . Unfortunately this beautiful castle was knocked down in the 1930s when the family were unable to pay for its maintenance and general upkeep . On its site now stands the smaller village hall which is now a thriving business for clamping , local butchery and annual events on the site. These pictures were taken circa 1890 when Lord William Beauchamp Nevill was in his early 30s . Eridge Castle was famous for its weekend parties, which were enjoyed by both royalty and aristocracy alike as part of the social season .

The Brompton oratory link

The Brompton oratory
 Beautiful church Lord William Nevill was married and had his requiem mass held when he died.
 There are however no burials held here so wherever Lord William Nevill is laid to rest it is not at the Brompton oratory.
 His widow moved into the Rembrandt hotel when Lord William Beauchamp Nevill died and spent the rest of her days overlooking this church .
