Comment

Bernard Davies decided Kingston Lisle Park was the best candidate for Shoscombe Old Place as it was the only one of the estates in this area that had a ruined chapel on the estate. The chapel was situated close to Fawler Copse, a name which bears a similarity to Lady Beatrice Falder, Sir Robert’s sister. No remains of the chapel survive. Kingston Lisle was in Berkshire until boundary changes.
