The Garland Family, Woodcote Grove, Epsom
Woodcote Grove was likely constructed between 1711-1722 for Josiah Diston (1667-1737), a London wool merchant who was Director of the Bank of England, 1701-1721, Director of the East India Company, 1706-1708 and MP for Devizes, 1706-1722. Woodcote grove was nicknamed Mount Diston. Josiah Diston lived largely and soon fell into financial difficulties. He sold the estate to Nathaniel Garland (1684-1756) around 1730. Garland was a prosperous mercer and Master of the Company in 1739. The state descended in the Garland family until sold in 1895 by Edgar Walter Garland to the fifth Earl of Rosebery for his daughter Lady Margaret Etienne Hannah (Peggy) Primrose, for life.
