Lady’s Pictorial – Saturday 23 November 1912

SIR JEREMIAH COLMAN, the present owner of Gatton, keeps the place up splendidly. The trees in the Park are some of the finest in Surrey. The pheasant and partridge shooting is first rate. The owner of Gatton interests himself beneficially in all the affairs of the neighbourhood. In politics he is a Liberal of the good old-faalilioned type. As a grower of magnificent orchids, he is well known in the horticultural world. Lady Colman is a charming woman, well travelled and well read. She was Miss Mary McMaster, of Park Place, Mitcham. The only child of the house, Mr. Jeremiah Colman, called by his intimates Jack, is twenty-six. The public are allowed to walk through the Park, which has this past autumn been a rare privilege, so magnificent was the foliage of the glorious trees.
