Estate Sale


After the unexpected death of Frederic Charles Arkwright on 18 July 1923, the Arkwright family's home in Derbyshire, Willersley Castle, together with its estate of around 290 acres, was put up for sale. It eventually sold in June 1927. The image above shows the title page of the sale catalogue, advertising the contents of the house[1]. A page at the back advertised sale of the estate.
