The History of 10 Arundel Terrace

For many decades in the 19^th century this house is listed in street directories as a “furnished house” and would have been let to a succession of residents. This is reflected in the census records which capture a relatively transient pattern of occupation, different families recorded every decade.

From 1896 the house was home to Lieutenant Colonel Sir Horatio Page Vance, veteran of Sebastopol and Lucknow, who had retired to Kemp Town with his wife and servants. He died in Brighton in November 1901, leaving his widow living in the house until 1905. She commissioned a stained glass window to his memory in Lichfield Cathedral which can still be seen there.
