Sale of a Noted Estate in Osmaston by Sir Samuel Wolton
Sir Samuel Wolton secures Osmaston estate near Derby on the main Derby Ashbourne road. He buys the house and entire contents once to be sold over eight days, including a vast wine cellar and costly furnishings. Osmaston Manor, built about 1850 in Elizabethan style, features a 65 foot ventilating tower and a 150 foot smoke tower linked by tunnel to cellars. The sale, under the Settled Estates act, accompanies concerns about agricultural markets and trade, noting a weak wheat export and its impact on rural towns.
