Moulton Paddocks

In 1842 William Webber, surgeon and founder of the Norwich Royal Free Hospital for Incurables,[8] owned Fidget Hall.

Webber bred race horses and in 1842 the stallion Erymus stood at Moulton Paddocks but died there in January 1847.

Langtry had a small number of horses in training at Baird's stable and after his death moved them to Kentford - about 3 miles from Moulton Paddocks.

She gradually became more interested in racing, purchased additional horses, and in 1895 bought a house in Kentford called Regal Lodge.

Baird's executors let Moulton Paddocks on short leases until they found a buyer, and in 1899 Ernest Cassel took ownership.

In 1892, the Prince had been persuaded by his racing manager to move his horses from John Porter’s stables at Kingsclere to those of Richard Marsh at Newmarket.

This new arrangement was convenient for the royal residence of Sandringham House and when Cassel purchased Moulton Paddocks the Prince (and later when he was Edward VII) became a frequent visitor.
