Miscellaneous information

The Grosvenor Estate - Mayfair

The Grosvenor family's large estate in northern Mayfair, for two centuries a by-word for wealth and fashion was professionally advised by the legal firm of Partington and Boodle.

From 1785 each of the four successive owners of the Grosvenor estate took an active part in the administration of their London properties, but their professional advisers were nevertheless influential. The most important of these were the successive partners in the legal firm of Partington and Boodle. (After the death of Thomas Walley Partington in 1791, several generations of the Boodle family continued partnerships in the firm).

The surviving partner, Henry Trelawny Boodle, was joined in 1897 by his two sons, Trelawny Frederick and Walter Trelawny Boodle, and died at his house on Wimbledon Common in 1900 leaving effects valued at £48,892. (Value 2021 - £6m.)  With the admission of G. F. Hatfield to a partnership in 1899 the name of the firm became Boodle Hatfield and Company. Trelawny Frederick died in 1930 and his brother Walter Trelawny —the last of the Boodles to be connected with the firm— in 1931.
