Houses of Lackham 2 nd ed 21 When James Montagu decided to build a new house in the late eighteenth century, only 4 years after inheriting Lackham from his father, he decided to position it along the line of the more northerly of the two avenues evident on the 1773 map [Fig. 9]. The new house was turned ninety degrees to the alignment of the original with a south facing aspect, rather than the westerly view of the original. The exact date of this rebuild is unknown. For many years the best estimate was between 1790 33 and 1797 The Rev. Samuel Denne FSA wrote that a friend of his was staying with Col. 34 , with the likelihood being that it was closer to 1790. The latest map that shows the old house would appear to be one prepared for the proposed Wilts & Berks Canal. (Fig. 11). It isn‟t very detailed, but clearly shows the three main parts of the old house and that the building is facing west, not north. 33 the date of Grimm‟s sketch 34 The Rev.
