Fludyer. It was built in 1830 by Sir Francis B. Morland, and was 
pulled down about 1886, when the estate of some eight acres was 
built over. 
Between this house and the Manor House was another house, 
of. which Mr. Bonar was a tenant until his removal to Camden 
House, Chislehurst, where lie and his wife were murdered by a 
valet in 1813. 
The Manor House was built by Mr. Thomas Lucas about 
1780, and has been at times occupied by the Lords of the Manor. 
Amongst the better known tenants of recent times was Mr. 
Wolffram, the army coach. In 1902 the house and grounds were 
sold by Lord Northbrook to the London County Council for use as 
a free library, etc., and public park.

Pentland House, which adjoins Manor House, is an old red 
brick house of the latter part of the 17th century, but the face has 
been stuccoed. 
Manor Lodge, which stood at right angles to Pentland House, 
was the old Manor Farmhouse, and in the rear is Manor Lane, 
which formerly led.to the farm. On the western side of the Old 
Road was formerly a large house called ‘‘ The Firs”’ (previously Lee 
Lodge). This was the seat of the Papillon family, the Sladen 
family, and, lastly, of Mr. John Wingfield Larking. Shortly after 
his death in 1891, the house was pulled down, and the whole estate 
was built over (Abernethy, Rembrandt, Lochaber and Murillo
