14 September 1954
Buzzacott Hall and the remaining land, except for "The Cottage", was auctioned by Foster &

Cranfield, Martin & Pole. It was freehold with vacant possession.

22 November 1954

J Buzzacott completed the sale of Frog Hall and the land, including the Barn and buildings (now 42
Froghall Drive) etc, to Peter Sidney Telling. Along with Frog Hall (then called Buzzacott Hall) Telling

bought an additional seven acres of surrounding land. Buzzacott retained "The Cottage", now 40
Froghall Drive, for himself and carried on living there with his housekeeper Betty Miller.

24 February 1956
Telling sold some land to Ian and Margaret baker, where "Nether Staples" now is.

23 July 1956

Telling sold the Hall to Harry and Florence Lucy Charlesworth.

1 November 1956

There is a lengthy report on the many aspects of a dispute between Buzzacott and Telling over their
exact boundaries, rights of way, fences, drains etc.

1 May 1962
We know at this time that the Charlesworths were living in Frog Hall.

February 1967

Plans were drawn up for a new house, to be built immediately in front of the hall. This proposal was

presumably scrapped or permission was refused.
