From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Keydell House[1] was situated in 45 acres (180,000 m2) of land near Lovedean Corner,[2] in the village of Horndean, part of the ecclesiastical parish of Catherington[3] Hampshire from Georgian times until its demolition to make way for houses in 1968.
The earliest deed still in existence (for the field "Nine Acres") is dated 1660.[4] The House itself was a three-storey, rectangular mansion with shuttered windows and formal gardens.[5] These eventually became Keydell Nurseries, although the business which still trades under that name moved to a bigger site in 1987.[6] The House had two notable owners: the Victorian actor Edmund Kean;[7] and, most famously, Sir Drury Curzon Drury-Lowe, a full general of the British Army.[8]
