Nofrthfield House, Prestonpans.

As I said in the last post about Hamilton House, it wasn't the oldest property in this historic part of "The Pans" Check the lintel in the second pic, it reads 1611- but, this house in some form was around a bit earlier than this, in 1607  it was sold by The Hamiltons,  to Joseph Marjoribanks, a burgess of Edinburgh. Marjorybanks extended and "embellished" the house, and this work was finished on the date above the door. Around 1700 it was sold and has went through a number of owners through the centuries, but has been occupied, apart from a short period around the turn of the 21st century constantly for over 400 years. Northfield House was put on the market in 2019 for a cool £1 million.  I can't see if it has actually been sold as yet, but it is no longer on the estate agents web page. Savills, who marketed as a “historic family home” of “immense character”, with “intricate period detail” and “excellent potential for a self-contained granny or staff flat”. The current owners have renovated Northfield House over the past 18 years, which included rebuilding the chimney stacks, overhauling the roof and lead where required, repairing the harling and repainting and replacing the gutters and downpipes. The house has, a Hallway, Drawing Room, Dining Room, 7 Bedrooms, Studio, 2 Bathrooms, 2 WCs, Utility Room, Family Kitchen. Cloakroom/Original kitchen, Cellar, 2 Store Rooms, Old Kitchen, Garden Room and a Coach House. I know you will all be dying to have a wee look inside, well hit the link and enjoy  https://assets.savills.com/properties/GBEDSCEDT170135/EDT170135_EDT18000795.PDF

Reenactors from Cobham's Dragoons of the British Empire dated to the Jacobite Rising of 1745 on display at the Battle of Prestonpans 2021

During the 1745 Jacobite Rising under Charles Edward Stuart, the Government Forces had an advantage in cavalry, especially the dragoons. These mounted infantry could not only deliver effectice charges against weakened or unorganised infantry but could also act as infantry as well.
