General Notes: Child - George GRANTHAM
He was a gardener and is described in the Cottingham Essays as:-
Newgate - "On the opposite side (to Cottingham House), too, was Leghorn Cottage, where Mr Grantham the gardener lived. Here, Mr Edwin Wright, the head gardener at Thwaite House, had a shed which he used as a garage. Mr Grantham had the house free, as he was an old man, but he still charged Edwin Wright 10/- a week for the use of his shed. On that side of the road, all the open land belonged to Leghorn Cottage, it was called Leghorn Cottage, because they kept chickens".
I have a suspicion that the name of Leghorn Cottage was something connected to William Grantham who was transported for stealing Chickens. George had a reputation of being able to handle chickens without them making a sound. He used to put chickens to sleep as a joke to surprise friends. This is a skill which he may well have been passed down from William Grantham, of transportation fame.
George was a very good gardener and occupied the respected and lofty position of head gardener. Many tales of him have been told but one in particular which sums up the old ways is when one of George's great nieces went with their father to visit George at work. He was tending the grape vines and one child picked a grape from the vine, this was treated as the ultimate sin because the whole bunch was now not fit for the table.
His wife Sarah was known for her Victorian attitudes and intolerance of children, especially naughty or noisy ones. I was told that youngsters used to have bets as to how long it would be before they were marched out of the room by the ear and made to stand outside. I understand she had the record for this in Cottingham. 26
