At the D.R.C. meeting of 19 February 1934, Vansittart made clear that in his opinion a major role of the D.R.C. report was to provide instruction, a programme of education on a fundamental issue for the survival of Britain and the Empire.

Vansittart was, as far as is known to date, the earliest individual of high rank in the government or civil service to see through the Nazis and was quite consistent in his position that Britain should follow a policy of firmness with Hitler.

The house that survived until 1949, when it was destroyed by fire, was built in 1754 in the style of a Palladian villa on the instructions of the new owner Bouchier Cleeve.
This house was bought in 1822 by Sir Nicholas Vansittart, who was at one time the Chancellor of the Exchequer (he also was given the title Lord Bexley) and it was the arrival of Vansittart that perhaps heralded the golden age for both the house and the surrounding district.
Foots Cray today is still a small settlement with some industrial and office premises, together with limited residential developments mostly along Cray Road and up Sidcup Hill towards central Sidcup.
