James Whitaker Wright...
Born in Stafford, England on the 9 February 1846
In 1890 Wright had purchased an estate between Godalming and Haslemere, Surrey at the time called Lea park..
Developments began with a wide range of landscaping works creating three lakes the largest of them which covered fifty acres of farm land..
In the vastly extended house facing one of the lakes stands hidden under the surface of the water, his secret subterranean smoking room..
He later died from committing suicide at the royal courts of justice in London immediately following his conviction for fraud on the 26 January 1904 aged 57..
Thanks Mr Wright its a great little place..R.I.P
