| In 1536, at the Dissolution, the
manor of Froyle came into the possession of William Jephson.
The Jephsons also gradually acquired Brocas and Husseys, making
the whole to a compact estate. In 1588 the Jephson family built
Froyle Place (picture above) on the site of an older house.
A later picture (below) entitled “Froyle House, the seat of the Rev. Sir Thomas Miller” (which places
it after 1770) shows little change. Recently we have received some
pictures of the Miller family taken around 1865 and they include a lovely
shot of the terrace. (You can see this picture and other more recent ones of Froyle Place by following the links at the bottom of the page) |
