Historic Information
(Information was taken from Gerrards Cross conservation area - April 2009 from )St. Hubert's Cottages, East Common, built by the eccentric author and adventurer, Thomas Mayne Reid. "He is said to have galloped his horse on the Common." Hints of eccentricity can still be seen on East Common in two other listed buildings resulting from the patronage of wealthy men. The Aged Pilgrim's Home, built in 1874 next to the church school, has since been converted into numbers 1 to 5 Hartley Court. It is a flamboyant High Victorian building in Tudor style with diaper brickwork and ornate chimney stacks. The surrounding wall topped by iron railings and old pump house dominate the streetscene on the corner of East Common and Packhorse Road. Thomas Mayne Reid left Gerrards Cross when he went bankrupt leaving his new mansion, the Rancho, incomplete. That has been demolished but his legacy of St. Hubert's Cottages remains. Perhaps his own literary interests led him to include a public reading room in this row of cottages, which also included a home for the local police constable. This building remains a landmark, although somewhat diminished with the loss of its central lantern. The church, Hartley Court and St. Hubert's Cottages are all different in style but definitely Victorian in character, distinctive in appearance and rather flamboyant.
St. Hubert's Cottages acquired their name when they were sold to Colonel Le Poer Trench, a keen huntsman who changed the name of his own mansion (outside the Conservation Area) from Langley Lodge to St. Hubert's, after the patron saint of hunting. The importance of hunting in Gerrards Cross is reflected in the built heritage of the Conservation Area.
