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 .
