In the 1881 Census my Great Grand Mother, Harriet Ann Edmunds, is identified as being a Lady's Maid at Monckton House, one of three servants at the home of private banker and magistrate Wiiliam Grant and family.
Moncton House was built in 1850 for James Biden, A Gosport Brewer. When James died his widow sold the house to Captain George Grant R.N and it remained in the Grant family until the early years of the twentieth century.
In 1941 Monckton House was requisitioned and used as a hostel for WRNS from HMS Dolphin.
Today, Monckton House, in its 12 acres of grounds, is a Grade II listed building and used as a Royal Naval Medical School and Physiological Laboratory
