For the record, Lady Mary Beaumont passed on her cheese recipe to Elizabeth Scarborough who at the time was Quenby Hall's housekeeper (she later became Mrs Orton and moved to Little Dalby where she continued to make the same cheese). The Quenby produce was originally called 'Lady Beaumont's cheese' or simply Quenby cheese. It was not until later, having been sold in the coaching inns of Stilton situated on the Great North Road approximately a day's ride from London, did the blue veined cheese become known as Stilton cheese.DaveLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01443773800834757660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-704095971276575721.post-2590202129254414792023-03-02T16:04:48.250+00:002023-03-02T16:04:48.250+00:00Sadly I have no further information about the chee...Sadly I have no further information about the cheese production at Quenby other than the fact it was first made there as Stilton cheese. I do remember eating it as a teenager when we visited with de Lisle commenting on the associated history. As an aside I believe that a branch of the family did go to Virginia in the USA and a col Turner Ashby died in 1862 as a confederate near where the family had a plantation near Ashbys Gap.

I believe her father was an undischarged bankrupt who spent most of the family cash in Paris which partly resulted in Quenby Hall being sold to Sir Harold Nutting in 1913. I have inherited the original sale document of the time compiled by Knight Frank and Rutley listing all the furniture in the sale. As a teenager the early 1970s I remember visiting Quenby when in the ownership of Squire de Lisle.John Goldsmithnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-704095971276575721.post-78948166551904737252023-02-14T06:53:18.921+00:002023-02-14T06:53:18.921+00:00Thank you for the additional details, which I will...Thank you for the additional details, which I will incorporate above.Nick Kingsleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03588322361791532910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-704095971276575721.post-42319332150106793782023-02-13T17:12:40.953+00:002023-02-13T17:12:40.953+00:00George Waring Ashby and his wife, Sylvia Irene (né...George Waring Ashby and his wife, Sylvia Irene (née Cottingham) are buried in the St Cosmas and St Damian Cemetery at Keymer (Hassocks), Surrey.

I recently learned that my great grandfather, Charles Louis Ashby (1869-1926), was born in Leicestershire and came to the USA (Massachusetts) as a young man. His father was William Ashby, who reportedly lived and died in Leicestershire. I'd love to find a way to track our family history in Leicestershire back through the centuries. Thanks for any help anyone is able to offer".<br />Nick Kingsleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03588322361791532910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-704095971276575721.post-7069814204251942952019-07-12T17:54:35.454+01:002019-07-12T17:54:35.454+01:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Franklin C.
