Nellie Buckingham describes a community where the house was the heartbeat of village life:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\u201cThe village, in my memories, was all linked with Huntsham Court when all the farms and cottages belonged to the estate\u2026 My father looked after the lake; he went out in a little boat to feed the fish and ducks and generally helped with other jobs on the estate.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Moreover, the estate team was extensive \u2014 carpenters, masons, plumbers, gardeners, woodmen, grooms, chauffeurs \u2014 all overseen by the Steward, who issued daily orders.
