Note: Edward Richard Northey (1795-1878) was born in Kinlet, Shropshire, on 8 February 1795. He was a newly commissioned Ensign in the 52nd Regiment Light Infantry when, aged just 17, he set off for the Peninsular War in Spain. He was wounded by a shell at the Battle of Vitoria, an engagement with the French in 1813, and fought in the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. Edward inherited Woodcote House, Epsom, upon the death of his father in 1828. After leaving the army with the Peninsular medal (with six clasps, each one representing a battle in which he had fought) and the Waterloo medal, Edward was prominent in Epsom, becoming a magistrate and Chairman of the Bench from 1870 until 1877. He was High Sheriff of Surrey in 1856 and Deputy Lieutenant.
