The death took place at 37, Clifton Road, Rugby, on Wednesday week, of Mr Jesse Jerome Brenchley, who had reached the advanced age of eighty-six years. Mr Brenchley, many years ago, was head gardener at Bitham House, and was well known and much respected by many people of the district. He went into the Rugby neighbourhood nearly forty years ago to superintend alterations to the grounds at Newnham Paddox, he being a clever landscape gardener, and he remained there as head-gardener to the late Lord Denbigh for fourteen years when he became sub-agent at Newnham Paddox under Mr H. H. Cave. This position he retained for eleven years, thus making twenty-five years of faithful and conscientious service on the Newnham Paddox Estate before he retired on a pension, and came to live at Rugby fifteen or sixteen years ago. Mr Brenchley has all his life been a very active man, and when at Newnham made the acquaintance of many visitors to the domain, the arrangements for whose accommodation and comfort were left in his capable hands. The late Mr Brenchley was a devout Catholic, and his demise came peacefully as a result of an illness extending over two years.
