Shendish Manor

The history of Shendish Manor goes back to the 13th century when Ralf de Chenduit was granted land in the area.

[4] The house was described by one newspaper in the following terms: When Charles died in 1873, his son Arthur Hampton Longman (1843–1908) inherited the property.

He was also enthusiastic about many forms of sport including hunting, yachting, shooting and fishing.

However the couple had no children so when Arthur died in 1908 Shendish Manor was inherited by his cousin Thomas Norton Longman (1849–1930) who lived there from 1908.

[11] Henry Longman sold the property in 1936 to John Dickinson Stationery who used it as a sports and social club.
