Houses of Lackham 2 nd ed 77 They didn‟t take control of all the estate, and maps held by Wiltshire College from the period indicate that the farms remained free (below). Lt Col Holt was paid an additional 10 shillings a year compensation for the land on which the 7 pillboxes guarding the estate stood. These must have been put in place when it was decided to use Lackham as Gen. Patton‟s HQ – similar estates locally that were also requisitioned do not have such features 94 . Fig. 59 War Department areas of Lackham, the hatched lines indicate areas not solely WD land ** After the invasion of Europe Lackham became a rehabilitation centre for wounded service personnel. 94 For an in-depth investigation and survey of the pill boxes at Lackham see Pratt, T (2008) The WWII hardened field defences of Lackham copy in Wiltshire College Lackham library and online athttp://www.lackham.co.uk/history/pillboxes%20working.pdf
Houses of Lackham 2 nd ed 78 Lackham House almost lost its fine Hall panelling -In July 1945 Lt Col. Holt contacted the County Council, offering to buy the pine panelling in the entrance hallway of Lackham house “if the County Council desired to sell it and the price be reasonable” 95 . Fortunately this offer was turned down; there is a pencil written note on Lt Col. Holt‟s letter, instructing The house is still requisitioned. I have spoken to the Secretary of the War Agricultural Committee who are to lease the property from the council and he says " do not remove panelling as it will make a dreadful mess and there is nothing to replace it with!" 96 After the war, the County Council purchased it to be the new County Agricultural Training facility. These all required substantial internal alterations to be made and as the School of Agriculture developed, the construction of additional buildings. The history and development of the College and its buildings remains to be explored. 95 W&SHC f2/600/117/1 1945 – 1949 Letter from Holt dated 16 July 45 from 6 Mount Row Davies Street W1 96 W&SHC f2/600/117/1 1945 – 1949 ibid
