History

Lord of Maugersbury Manor, Joseph Chamberlayne Chamberlayne esq., sold Maugersbury Manor in the late 1890`s to fund the building of Fosse Manor Hotel, known at the time as Hyde House. Chamberlayne and his wife Henrietta Catherine, who were both descendants of Edward III King of England, saw Hyde House as a perfect place to improve on their great passion for entertaining, and as such required a property grand enough to do so. Completed in 1901 as per the family coat of arms above the front door, Hyde House fitted the bill.
