Westbrook House

According to local records, Westbrook House was a working farm from the 16th century until 1820, when a new owner, Thomas Stratford-Andrews built a grand house on a hill within the estate.

Stratford-Andrews died in 1831 and is buried in the Elstead village cemetery.  His family, whose Indo-European Telegraph Company pioneered the spread of the telegraph in the late 1800s maintained their links with Westbrook until the death of Thomas William Stratford-Andrews in 1923.
