History of Playford Hall (Estate)

[begaar]

Greetings from Down Unda.

My interest at the moment is Playford Hall
It seems to have a very fascinating history about it that is very worth reading.
From the beginning to the so called end, if there was that is.

The reason for this is a Family by the name of CUTTING who were very comfortable, lived there for about 20 odd years but there is very little findings of them, but they did come from Martlesham then it all came to a rock bottom ending in bankruptcy.
Other names involved with them is Walford who were well off in Woodbridge.

One of the sons Joined the King's German Legion in 1813 at the age of 16yrs and was commissioned as an Ensign.

I'd be very interested if anyone has info and any links to follow up on.

Thanking in advance
Wayne
