The Croziers

Bit of name-dropping coming up!

The Croziers were mentioned in an article in the New Milton Advertiser & Times on 16 June.

Mary Fawcett, the Lady who kept the Calling Book, met members of the Crozier Family in 1883 and 1884.

Rev. Sir George Burrard

Sir George was the younger brother of Sir Harry Burrard-Neale, a Napoleonic was hero and a famous Lymington name.

Sir George inherited his brother's title and the Walhampton estate near Lymington after Sir Harry's death in 1840.

Francis & Harriet Crozier

Sir George's oldest surviving daughter Harriet married Francis Henry Crozier in Lymington in 1846.

After retirement, Francis & Harriet settled at the Elms in Boldre and later De La Warr House in Lymington.
