BARONET WHO

SOLD TEAS TO

SAVE ESTATE

Sir Philip Grey Egerton Bart. died in London recently at the the age of 73.

Owner of nearly 9000 acres of land in Cheshire, he ran a tea hall with the aid of his wife in the beautiful grounds of their home at Oulton Park, Tarporley, to help to keep the estate together.

When their home was destroyed by fire, they lived in a tiny cottage, using a tent in the garden as a bathroom, until some of the out- buildings which remained intact. could be converted into a house.

The heir to the baronetcy is the Rev.. Brooke de Malpas Egerton, who is in his 92nd year. He is the вод 01 late Rev. William Henry Egerton, the fourth son of the ninth baronet, "and was born on August 18, 1845.
