Preface

      This book has been long in the making. I first became aware of the Lushington family when, in 1982, I set out to write a book about a house named “Pyports” in the small Surrey town of Cobham where I have lived all my life. “Pyports” proved to be a fascinating place which had been home to a number of interesting and, sometimes, well-known people. The house took its name from a family called Pypard who lived there in the fourteenth century. Nineteenth-century local records revealed that the house had once been home to a family named Lushington. This was an unusual surname and I needed to find out who they were. A letter in the correspondence pages of Country Life rewarded me with a large response from people who had either known the family personally, or who knew of them through a variety of reasons. I found references to Lushington in many biographies of well-known nineteenth-century figures as well as in other books dealing with the social, cultural and literary history of the nineteenth century.
