He had to have knowledge regarding legal matters which included civil disputes as well as minor o enses. He had to keep his administration in order. Why he settled in this area remains a mystery. His young life was spent either in Essex or Scotland and there has been no trace of his siblings living in the south of England. e 1911 census shows him living as head of his family at Ower cottage, Calshot, Fawley with his wife Janetta (Giovanna) Eden, Martha Mootar a widow servant acting as the cook, Emily Gardener as a house maid, Kate Gardener as the parlour maid and Lily Bunday as a kitchen maid. is move must have seemed quite strange to Janetta a er having lived in military surroundings where there would have been a busy social life, plenty of people living all around her. Ower Cottage was quite isolated, and the area at that time was primitive. ere would have been no pavements or street lights, houses would have been lit by oil lamps, water would all have to be pumped. Fawley would have been the nearest village, or a boat trip across the estuary to Southampton would have given more options. No doubt she was occupied with running the household, but meeting her social equals would have been quite a challenge. William was also a very talented watercolourist at a time when it was a highly fashionable form of painting. His painting was on paper (not board) and his talent was of natural beauty, painting landscapes with beautiful light and the changing weather. His paintings of individual people going about their daily business gives an insight into life at that time. e painting of the Bishop was probably based on his father who was a Bishop in Scotland. His high accomplishment in this form of artwork enabled him to regularly exhibit his work in both Paris and London exhibitions. Examples of his beautiful paintings can be seen by going online and inputting ‘artwork by William Alexander Eden’. Many of them are available to purchase in card form 111 years a er his death! He was also painted when he was 15 years old and his portrait hangs in the National Gallery, London. ese three talents gave him a triangulation of artistic expression, military service and discipline, and local governance. However, he was recorded as being eccentric and erupting into bouts of bad temper which gave colour to his character. He died aged 72 on 23rd December 1915. He and ‘Jean’ had not produced any children. His wife survived him for a further sixteen years and died on the 21st September 1931. ey are buried in the same grave and their gravestone simply says ‘William Alexander Eden, Colonel (Late RHA) called to rest on 23rd December 1915 and his wife Jean at rest 21st September 1931.’ Continued from page 38 Local Lady Collates History of Langdown Mill To Honour Parents In 1973 Lesley Howell’s parents moved into ‘Millsteps’ a house in Whitewater Rise, Dibden Purlieu. Whilst reordering the front garden they discovered some round foundations and set about researching what they might be. ere was very little information to be found at the time but they managed with OS maps to establish that it was Langdown Mill (also known as Hythe Mill or Fawley Mill). ey found some newspaper announcements and articles but there was a major breakthrough from a chance conversation with, and following correspondence with, a lady whose greatgreat-great uncle was William Heathcote, who was part of the Mill’s story. He was probably the rst owner of the Mill, which was mentioned in his Will of 1833 as part of his estate. When Lesley’s parents passed away she wanted to honour them by tidying up the ‘bitty’ folder they had spent so much time on. In the process of doing so Lesley has come across more research/sources thanks to Google that she has added in. Keen to share the information with others that might be interested, Lesley has created a PDF of her, and her parent’s research which can be accessed via OneDrive: https://1drv.ms/b/c/ad4f5dc1439fa767/ IQDyA6D1VQ8RTpL578u2zFISARtdwGpUmMERF5Iaou_ Cenk?e=8le3RX
