The original house was the home of one branch of the Lambert family from 1534 until 1744, when it was passed out of the family. In 1857 John Lambert bought back the estate and enlarged and improved the house which remained in the family's ownership until 1925. Some years before that, it had been let to Mrs Mary Louisa Davies who carried on there a high class girls boarding school. She bought the property in 1925 but on her death in 1930, the property was bought for development by a company called Garratts Hall Estate Ltd. Of the old estate, there remains 'Little Garratts', and the two Lodges, one at the junction of Garratts Lane with Holly Lane, and the other with Shrubland Road, the latter bearing the Lambert insignia. The stable block was divided into three houses in Colcokes Road, called "The Stables". |
