Hi Amanda what year was your grandad the head gardner at Packwood. I volunteer there and found this fascinatingHello Im near to this forum and I wanted to add to this thread , My grandad was the head gardener and the chauffeur at Packwood house , his wife my grandma was the Lord and Lady's nanny . My grandad, grandma, my mum and aunty (who are identical twins) all lived in the servants quarters.. If you look at the front there is a big green door/gate on the left of this door/gate there are several small windows this was were my family lived.. My mum has told me that they used to run around the maze which was bigger then with the other children..My mum also told me that my grandad used to cut the tall trees by hand with Topiary shears... When I visit Packwood I walk around and try to imagine my family living there my mum tells me the tree's looked better when her father looked after them it makes me smile ..

Yes Graham Baron Ash grandad started the company called Ash he then joined forces with a Mr Lacy and therefore the company Ash and Lacey was formed. Then his father took over when his dad passed away . In 1925 Mr Ash passed away and Graham Baron Ash sold his shares in the company.
