Employment Whilst farming and working the land were most important for most people in the past, the Iron and other industries were significant from the Middle Ages. Estates There have been several large estates in the village but none dominant. Dangstein House was the home of Captain James Lyon of the East India Company. In 1851, Reginald Nevill and Lady Dorothy Nevill bought the estate. Lady Dorothy laid out ornamental gardens, a fernery and hothouses. Famous visitors Both the Kaiser and Winston Churchill were guests of the Dowager Lady Massereene and Ferrard at Milland Place before the First World War.
