A little sni...Hi Dave and Stefan, Liz Chater here. A little snippet for you. Buxey Lodge in Conduit Road was actually the SECOND Buxey Lodge that Mody named and lived in. <br /><br />The first was Buxey Lodge in Caine Road (was originally no. 31 then became no. 99) and the house was conviently sandwiched between the Chater brothers - Paul (the famous one) and Joseph (who was Paul's equal in business before his death in 1886). Mody lived next door to Joseph Chater and was only 7 houses away from Chater. On the other side of Mody was Chater's nephew, Dr. Gregory Jordan in "Forest Lodge".<br /><br />I don't believe Buxey Lodge in Conduit Road was actually built by Mody but rather extensively refurbished to his requirements. I have found records of a house called "Newlands" on that plot being sold at exactly the right time Mody was looking to moved to Conduit Road to be near and stay in the same league as Chater with Marble Hall.<br /><br />My research into Chater is still on-going and you may be interested to know that I am now including a lot of "Mody" personal stuff in it as the two were so intrinsically linked and it would be a complete injustice to exclude my Mody findings.<br /><br />best wishes<br />Liz ChaterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
