garrison presently was surprised by Sir Jacob Astley from 
Cirencester, and surrendered. Miserden succeeded in resisting 
his forces and remained in Massey’s possession. Nevertheless, 
the family of Sandys continued to live on at the House, and

in 1810 by the Rev. Sir Edward Baynton Sandys, Bart, (died 
December 31st, 1838), with two feasts to the inhabitants served 
around two bonfires. Miserden was afterwards sold to Mr. 
Lyon, who (1865) re-sold house and manor to Sir John Rolt, 
whose son, Mr. John Rolt, died of an accident while 
hunting with the FitzHardinge Hounds at Wanswell Court,.
