Death at Reigate, Surrey, Joseph Foskett Esq in his 80th year
---
From his daughter's death notice, he lived at Coombe Lodge, Surrey, prior to his death
Coombe Lodge is a Georgian red brick mansion built by the 1760s. It was once called Coombe Gate House or Coombe Green House. In 1761 the estate joined with Coombe House and Coombe Farm, an estate that was split and reunited several times. A large conservatory, still there, was added in the late 19th century. After World War II the estate was bought by the County Borough of Croydon , which used the house as a home for the elderly. It is now a pub/restaurant.
---
This sale took place long after Joseph's death. Could be that the family had kept the land or it just kept the Foskett name long after the family left.
