More about this scene
Built on the side of a hill, Greywell Hill was purchased in 1787 by the 1st Lord Dorchester, formerly Sir Guy Carleton, who was the first Governor General of Canada. He bought the manors of Greywell and Nately Scures from the trustees of the Earl of Northington. A considerable number of possible male heirs died fighting for king/queen and country, and the title became extinct. However, as a result of petitioning, Queen Victoria recreated the title in the female heiress, but it became extinct again in 1963. Greywell Hill is now the residence of the 7th Earl of Malmesbury, whose mother was the daughter of the 2nd Baron Dorchester.
