| ELIZA ABLE ALLAIN NYE, TUNBRIDGE WELLS 1829 |
£. |
We are unsure of Camden House, c.1829 we believe it to be associated with Lord Camden.
Eliza Able Allen Nye was born 2.8.1822 and christened at the Wesleyan Chapel in Tunbridge Wells her parents being Mary Allain Morphew & John Nye, a Carpenter / Cabinet maker possibly involved in the manufacture of "Tunbridge Ware". She died April 1841.
Lord Camden was a leader of society , planned and built an estates at Camden Park. A description of his plans were published in Colbran’s handbook and directory of 1847. “There is some building land recently laid out by the Marquess of Camden in plots of one acre each for the erection of a number of first-class residences … the land is … admirably chosen for the purpose having the advantage of a private park and yet within an easy walk of the mineral springs and the business part of the town …”. At the Park’s center was open land of some 7˝ acres. Lord Camden undertook that he and his successors would always retain this feature as meadow or pasture land. Happily this area has been preserved as a lasting attribute of the Park. |
