From Suffolk Heritage Gatreway [1]: An elaborate stone gateway with carved shields etc was originally sited on the lawn in front of (Parham House) (S side carved stone, N side red brick). The Gate now forms entrance to to the Wharton-Sinkler Conference Centre at Philadelphia, USA . This was sold and shipped to the USA in 1926. The heraldry seems to indicate a connection with Robert, 6th Lord Willoughby de Eresby (d.1452 & buried at Mettingham). Has been suggested that this was in fact the tomb that William 10th Lord Willoughby directed to be made for the 6th Lord in his will, dated 1524 . Presumably the tomb was never erected at Mettingham because of the Reformation. Shields with similar carving can be seen in Parham Church and another one, with the arms of Willoughby impaling Zouche (2nd wife of the 4th Lord, who died 1391) was recently found in reconstructing a wall flanking the main entrance arch. The Wharton Sinkler Estate (also known as Lane's End, Guildford, or the Rotan Estate) is located in Wyndmoor, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. The mansion was built by Samuel P. Rotan and Allethaire Ludlow Crummer in 1925 and used by the University of Pennsylvania as the Wharton Sinkler Conference Center from 1971 to 1999. The Springfield Township Historical Society Wharton Sinkler Estate collection, 1926-2002, consists primarily of records relating to the University of Pennsylvania's subdivision and sale of the property, 1998-2002, with some additional materials relating to the history of the property and its inhabitants. "Lane's End"/"Guildford" Estate, Wyndmoor, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, a house designed c. 1921 by Robert McGoodwin in the Tudor Revival style for Samuel B Rotan, a dedicated Anglophile, constructed replica of an authentic village. The manor house, which is modeled after Sutton Place in England, contains original rooms and materials brought over from England. The Living Room was once host to Queen Elizabeth I and the Library is where Alexander Pope penned his essay on man. (http://wikimapia.org/26391507/Lane-s-End-Guildford) Wikipedia re w:Robert Rodes McGoodwin: McGoodwin created a massive Tudor fantasy in the Samuel B. Rotan mansion, "Lane's End," in Wyndmoor, Pennsylvania. Now better known as the Wharton Sinkler Estate, it was modeled after Sutton Place in Guildford, Surrey. McGoodwin assembled architectural fragments and whole rooms from numerous English buildings: the massive oak front doors were salvaged from Muchelny Abbey and date to 739; the stone-slab floors of the hall were salvaged from Warwick Priory and date to 1124.[5] A village of Tudor buildings – some old, some just built to look old – hid the 20th-century services and housed the staff. Mrs. Wharton Sinkler bequeathed the estate to the University of Pennsylvania in 1971, which operated it as a conference center and wedding venue until 1999.[6] It was sold in 2000 for $2 million.[7] Following $4 million in renovations, it was resold in 2005 for $5.5 million. |
