Gamekeepers
From The Muniment Room, a resource for social history, family history, and local history.
In 1843, Thomas Hewitt, gamekeeper to John Barton Willis Fleming, was convicted of assaulting Charles Sivier of Burgess Street; Hewitt had threatened to blow Sivier’s brains out with a double barrelled gun.[1] In 1844, two of the keepers at Stoneham, Charles West and William Salmon, were viscously assaulted[2].
On 29 Nov 1900, after an intolerably poor couple of days of shooting, John Willis Fleming purged the Chilworth & Stoneham estate of all the gamekeepers: ‘I consider that the keepers have failed to do their duty, & therefore have given them all notice to go. I intend in future keeping nobody but woodmen, as I do in the Isle of Wight.[3]’
