It also includes details of some of the families that have been associated with Fox Corner over a few generations.  The families are (click on them to see the content):

  • The Bailey Family.  Associated primarily with Heath Mill, the Bailey family were well-known at Fox Corner in the first half of the 20th century and up to the 1970's.

  • The Baker family.  Bakersgate is one of the oldest properties in Fox Corner, and the Baker family owned it until the very end of the 18th century.

  • The Slaughter family. The Slaughter family lived at no fewer than 6 different properties in the Fox Corner area from the mid-1800's.  This page is the result of much painstaking research by a direct descendant of the Slaughter family.

  • Charles Peyto Shrubb.  This gentleman owned Merrist Wood in the second half of the 19th century, and bought a great deal of surrounding property, some of which was in the Fox Corner area.  This lively account of Mr Shrubb's life ("A love of life, and a touch of scandal") was written by Steve Cranstone.
