The house of a Napoleonic hero, and where Percy Shelley came for tea, has come up for sale in a pretty Sussex village.
After a tough day of commanding HMS Ajax and defeating Napoleon’s navy at the Battle of Trafalgar, Captain John Pilfold would retire to his home at Marshalls Manor in Sussex. There, he would entertain his nephew Percy Bysshe Shelley in one of the five reception rooms.
Ok, so that may not all be strictly accurate; a naval officer at the time of the Napoleonic wars would have been away for months, or even years at a time. Indeed, earlier in his career as a young midshipman Pilfold headed out to the East Indies in October 1788, and didn’t come home again until the spring of 1792.
