Description

Summary: Sepia postcard of Milton Rectory. Seen over the lake. Posted 1909. Published by Nevelle & Co, New Milton.

Identification note: Milton Rectory with its ornamental lake and mature trees was built by the Rev. Thomas Robinson, who was vicar of Milton Parish from 1875-97. As his wife was a keen horse rider, who hunted regularly with her groom in attendance, he built extensive stable blocks alongside the house which are visible on the map but have since been disappeared along with the lake.
