Henry Foley, 5th Baron Foley

In 1872, Foley purchased a considerable amount of land at Claygate, Surrey.

At the core of this was Ruxley Lodge, "a delightful family mansion moderate in size, but replete with comfort and convenience."

Lord Foley added the west wing, with its octagonal tower, turrets and gargoyles making it almost twice as large.

[2] Foley created extensive housing developments in Claygate with the coming of the railway in the area of Foley Road and Fitzalan Road (named after his brother).

They had no children and when he died at Ruxley Lodge aged 55, he was succeeded by his brother, Lord Fitzalan Charles John Foley, 6th Baron Foley.
