A potted history
-
1784
The Osberton and Scofton Estates are amalgamated to become ‘Osberton Estate’ following the marriage of Francis Ferrand Foljambe to Mary Arabella Thornhagh. Prior to this marriage the Foljambes resided in Derbyshire and Yorkshire.

1814
George Savile Foljambe, the noted huntsman and founder of the Grove Hunt, becomes owner of the estates. In 1833 he built Scofton church on the site of the former Scofton Hall in memory of his first wife who died in child birth.

1920
Captain Edmond Foljambe takes over the estates having served and been wounded in the First World War. His stewardship keeps the estates together through some of the darkest hours of the 20th Century – the 1930’s depression and the Second World War. RAF Worksop is built on the estate in the last years of WWII.

George Michael Foljambe inherits the estates and restores the, by then derelict, RAF airfield to open countryside and in 1970 he founds the Osberton International Horse Trials.
