| Description |
Bateman's was built around 1634. Rudyard Kipling bought Bateman's in 1902. He and his American wife, Carrie, had discovered the house two years earlier but had been too slow in deciding to buy it and it was let before they could close the deal. When the house came on the market again in 1902, they had no hesitation and bought it along with the surrounding buildings, the mill and 33 acres for £9,300. It had no bathroom, no running water upstairs and no electricity but Kipling loved it. Rudyard Kipling died in 1936 and Carrie continued to live at Bateman's until her death in 1939. I won a wineglass on eBay to replace one that was broken. The seller lives just off my route to visit my mother. Near his house I saw a sign to Bateman's. It was closed. I must go back whan it is open... |
