74.  Col William Nevill Tufnell (John Jolliffe 6, John Jolliffe 5, William 4, John Jolliffe 3, Samuel 2, John 1) was born on 11 Apr 1838 in Birchanger, Essex, was baptised on 29 Jul 1838 in South Weald, Essex, died on 3 Nov 1922, aged 84, and was buried in Great Waltham, Essex.

General Notes: He joined the navy as a cadet in 1852, and served in the Crimean campaign; at the Battle of Alma his ship covered the French right advance, and took part in the bombardment of Sebastopol; he afterwards joined the landing party, and was present at the Battle of Inkerman

He resigned from the navy in 1863, and joined the old-established Essex banking firm of Sparrow, Tufnell, and Co., and on their amalgamation in 1897 with other banking firms he became one of the local directors of Barclays. He joined the Essex Rifle Volunteers in 1869, and for eighteen years held command of the battalion (1871-89). On the death of his father in 1894 he succeeded to the family estates in Essex and Yorkshire. He was specially interested in developing the cultivation of willows on the Langleys estate. The following letter written by him on this subject to his son Charles is of interest:

"Willows grown, as Essex, Norfolk and Suffolk only can produce, are the best paying timber produced in England ; no foreign country can compete in our market. White sorts only should be grown. I planted in 1895, and cut several of seventeen and eighteen years' growth, which, when I first began felling, brought in about 8s. to 10s. per cubic foot, but which increased till, in 1914, I sold none under £1 per cubic foot, the purchaser taking the trees down at his own expense. The best sets are taken from old pollards, the stems being about the size of one's arm, and should be taken off and put in in February. Cut the sets at an angle. They do best on the banks of running streams, but can also line ponds, etc. I like giving sets plenty of room. Greedy people plant close, but never get the quick growth of mine, placed 15 to 20 feet apart. By using the bigger distance you can put in fresh sets half way between the original plants at ten years' growth, and this takes up the growing after the others are sold off. Paint base of sets with tar (coal and paraffin), to preserve from rabbits and water rats. Cattle are very destructive to the bark, from which they should have the protection of old thorn cuttings bound round the stems, or old wire. Black sets are valueless."

He died in November, 1922.

He had four sons and one daughter : (1) Nevill Arthur Charles de Hirzel Tufnell. (2) Lionel Charles Gostling Tufnell, born on 24th September, 1865. He was educated at Marlborough College and Oxford Military College, Cowley. He became a lieutenant in the 4th Essex Regiment in 1883, and after serving in the East Surrey and Worcester Regiments, was transferred to the Army Ordnance Department in 1901. He served in the South African campaign and received the Queen's medal with five clasps. He was officer commanding and in charge of Records, Army Ordnance Corps, from 1911 to 1916, and was made a C.B. in 1916. (3) Fanshawe Tower Tufnell, born in 1867. (4) Beauchamp Le Fevre Tufnell.

  Address: 1871, Langleys, Great Waltham, Essex.

  Address: 1901, Whitelands, Hatfield Peverel, Essex.
  Address: 1911, 47, Pont Street, London.
  Address: 1921, Whitelands, Hatfield Peverel, Essex.

Maria married Edward Gerald Strutt, son of John James Strutt 2nd Baron Rayleigh and Clara Elizabeth La Touche Vicars, on 29 Oct 1878. Edward was born on 10 Apr 1854, died on 8 Mar 1930, aged 75, and was buried in Terling, Essex.


General Notes: After finishing his studies at Cambridge in 1874, Strutt apprenticed for a firm of "land agents", Rawlence and Squarey of Salisbury, equally a leading firm of Estate Agents.

Two years later, at the age of 22, he began the management of the family's estates in Essex, but initially most of the land was let out, requiring little work. However, from 1878 upon bad harvests and a price drop in wheat, he took more direct control, switching to a system of arable and dairy farming. His improvements to the latter included the growing of lucerne (alfalfa) and other grasses as feed, increased hygiene measures, and testing for tuberculin to remove sickly cattle.

In 1884 he secured the agency for the country properties of Guy's Hospital. It had considerable properties in Essex and elsewhere besides the farms – for these Edward Strutt was responsible. He felt the need for a partner in such land agency so early in 1884 contacted friend and neighbour Charles Parker. On 21 December 1885 a deed of partnership was drawn up between the two and Strutt & Parker was created.

He founded Lord Rayleigh's Dairies Limited to process and sell milk of the managed farms to the London milk market in 1900. This was later sold in 1929 to the Express Dairy Co. Ltd.

During World War I, he was involved in food and agricultural policy, serving as a member of Lord Milner's food production committee. Submarine warfare severely reduced food imports, meaning it was essential to maximise Britain's own food production. He helped frame the Corn Production Act 1917 which encouraged ploughing up pasture and replacing with crops. He served on many government committees: on post-war agriculture policy, the Royal Commission on Oxford and Cambridge universities (1920–22) and that on tariffs (import and export taxes) (1923). He served as an honorary advisor to the Board of Agriculture, and was an alderman of Essex County Council.

He pioneered or revitalised sugar-beet production in Britain.

In 1912, he became president of the Surveyors' Institution (later the RICS).

He died 8 March 1930 in Hatfield Peverel of a heart complaint. His assets were resworn for probate, slightly upwardly, at £181,831.9 (equivalent to about £14,500,000 in 2023). Those, undisposed, of his widow, resident at Cadogan Gardens, were less than £3,910 (equivalent to about £320,000 in 2023).
