St. Albans, butcher, over a debt which Howard called imaginery. (8)
It would be opportune to complete the story of the Marshalswick estate. In 1769 Samuel Martin brought the property, although Major Richardson was still the occupier. By 1788 Martin had died, Earl Spencer declined to purchase, and Charles Bouchier of Tittenhanger purchased the estate. He altered the name of the main house to 'Sandridge Lodge'. added the west wing, and to the estate. In 1802 it was sold to a Mr. Strode who in turn sold to the Marten family in 1803, and it was this family who most happily resumed the old name of Marshalswick about 1818, and also added a west wing in 1824. George Marten inherited the estates in 1826 and lived there for fity years as a bachelor. Thomas Powney Marten of the East India Company gave a clock to St. Leonards in 1847. George's half-sister Cecilia fell in love with William Holloway, the tenant of Marshalswick Farm. The Martens hardly approved, and at the age of 48 she was still single: it is happy to record however that she died at Welwyn in 1881 as Mrs. William Holloway. G.N. Marten writing to Cussans in 1888 gave further information that he inherited in 1876 from his elder brother and added a billiard room, two lodges to east and west and several cottages; the estate was about 809 acres. The two lodges are now known as 1 Marshals Drive and 191 Marshalswick Lane. The house was pulled down in 1927, sad passing for a building which had been the home of the Squires of Sandridge for such a long time. The sale of Marshalswick - Marshal's Wick - in 1921 by the Martens led to the development of these 179 acres into estates of privately built houses, possibly now one of the most valuable residential areas in the locality. In the late thirties, Marshalswick Farm followed the same fate, and occupied the site where the Quadrant shopping precinct now stands. The auctioneer's asking figure in 1921 was £22,000 - one's mind boggles to think of the modern value today. The estate plan shows the west to east carriageway to be the present line of Marshals Drive. The old brewhouse in Marshals Drive is the only building not to have been demolished. The area sold was bordered on the north and east by Marshalswick Lane as we now know it from the William IV corner all the way round to Sandpit Lane, the southern end of this road being called at that time New Road. The southern boundary was Sandpit Lane and the western the Midland Railway. Much of the old Home Wood was cut to form Homewood Road and the estate is now bisected by such roads as Gurney Court Road and Charmouth Road.
As already mentioned Marshalswick Farm occupied the area where the
