	Milton Abbey - History
		Damer was a wealthy and ambitious man whose fortune had descended from a great-uncle.
		After Damer was created Baron Milton in 1764, he enlisted the great landscaper Lancelot 'Capability' Brown to design the grounds, and, following the death of Vardy in 1765, the famed architect Sir William Chambers to create an appropriate house in the Gothic style, much against Chambers' tastes.
		Even as Lord Milton, Damer found that his removal of the town, house by house as the leases fell in or the occupants moved, did not go unopposed; one tennant, a lawyer, stubbornly remained but was flooded out when the sluice gates of the old abbey pond above the town were opened.
