BIOGRAPHY (source: www.wadhurst.info - Brian Yates) George Barham of Snape At the beginning of the twenty-first century the Snape Estate, still unspoiled, is virtually that which Sir George Barham conceived and built at the end of Queen Victoria's reign. The earliest reference to Snape c.1200 is in the Battle Abbey cartulary recording the gift of 'all my lands of Snape in the parish of Wadehurst to the Abbot and Convent of Battle.' The Abbey owned Snape until the dissolution; then for almost three hundred years it was part of the Glynde Lands in the care of the Barham family. David Barham inherited the place in the 1590's whilst still a ward of his uncle, William Courthope of Whiligh. In 1617 he built a new house here and when his great grandson, also called David, sold Snape in 1721 it passed out of Barham ownership for some 160 years. Robert Barham, a dairy farmer near Battle, had five sons; the youngest, also called Robert, born 1807, left the family home to start his own dairy shop in London at 272 Strand. In 1830 he married Altezera Henrietta Davey, and six years later their baby was born; they christened him George. Fifty years later he came here and built the present Snape Estate. Robert and Altezera apprenticed George to a London cabinet maker but he delivered milk for them in the evenings. In 1858 he opened his own shop in Dean Street, employed others to do the deliveries and began to import milk by rail from outside London; he called his firm Express Dairies. Such was the quantity he brought in that it became necessary to organise transport to and from the trains, and to design special equipment for handling milk in bulk. The daily increase in business generated for the railway companies was so great that they had to extend their facilities, and build additional sheds and sidings for Express. Victorian London had little appreciation of the causes of infection; unclean habits were common in shops and in food production. Dairies diluted milk with water, used dirty containers, bound and thickened cream with slime derived from slugs and snails; this was not acceptable to George Barham. In 1868 he opened College Farm in Finsbury as a showplace for livestock and equipment, training his staff there and holding displays and exhibitions. If it were not for his crusading spirit and his progressive social ideas he would have been just another very successful nineteenth century business man, but for over half a century he worked assiduously for the health of Londoners. He served on Government Committees and endeavoured to raise public awareness of the importance of cleanliness, supporting those working to improve drainage and purify the water supply. Express Dairies and The Dairy Supply Company grew in influence and importance: milkmen to the people of London. The achievement was recognised; he held many appointments, including Lord Lieutenant of Middlesex and was knighted in 1904. His family was native to this part of Sussex and he looked for a farm in the area. He bought Snape Farm in 1887 where the main buildings were the 1617 Farmhouse of David Barham and the much older Battle Abbey tithe barn. Shoesmiths, Snape and Scrag Oak had been the houses of the Barham ironmasters. He felt he was returning home. Sketches and notes on the architect's drawings dated between 1892 & 1903 indicate how he planned and developed the estate in several stages; his conception was remarkable, reflecting the experience he had acquired building Express depots, offices, dairies and teashops. Much of the work was carried out by his estate workers, the estate providing the materials. The gardens and terracing, the drives, ashlar stone walls, coach house, stables and the extensions of the house itself required immense quantities of sandstone and the main source was the quarry where the public footpath now comes through. The house interior is of exceptional inventiveness and the highest craftsmanship, as is all the work here. When the central buildings were completed, he began to develop the paddocks and woods. There are seven monoliths in the 'Dimsel' lettered with the names of prominent members of the family and recording their achievements; one is dedicated to Queen Elizabeth's Sergeant at Arms, Nicholas Barham, and another to the author of 'The Ingoldsby Legends'. Snape Shaw and Snape Wood were planted with hornbeam and oak, paths and rides laid out, and footbridges made over the streams, a waterfall and two weirs were constructed with a hydraulic ram pumping water up to the house, all are still here; a brochure prepared for letting the Estate details some of this. The most notable letting which is known is that to the Romanovs, for three years from 1918 to 1920, when Natasha after fleeing Russia waited here for the Grand Duke Michael to join her and the children, but he was murdered before he could escape. However that was later; in the first decade of the century Sir George was busy building and making things including new choir stalls and pews for Wadhurst Church, where Barham ancestors are among those named on the thirty two cast iron grave slabs in the nave.
