Charles Henry Gatty was the last resident ‘lord’ of the manor of Felbridge, residing at Felbridge Place until his death on 12th December 1903. With the death of Charles Henry Gatty, the Felbridge Place estate was left in trust and eventually put up for auction in 1911, which led to the break up of a ‘gentleman’s’ estate and the creation of Felbridge as a village. His death also brought to an end his family line of Gatty’s.
Charles Henry was born in Marylebone, London, on 6th March 1836, the second son of George and Frances Gatty. The Gatty family can be traced back to the 15th century to Bodmin in Cornwall, with the old Gatty arms being those of Gatti of Insubria in Italy. Charles Henry’s father, George Gatty, married Frances Sayer in about 1830, when Frances was aged about twenty-seven years old. She was the daughter of Henry Jenkinson Sayer and Elizabeth née Lane who had married on 22nd November 1798 at St Margaret’s, Westminster, London. Frances Sayer was related to John Collier, a lawyer and one time Mayor of Hastings in Sussex. George and Frances Gatty had two sons, the eldest being George Edward born in 1832 and the second son being Charles Henry.
