Julius Sludder

Julius Sludder was a Dutchman who by 1622 already owned part of Canvey, and may have been responsible for the building of the Dutch cottage in 1618.

When it was proposed that Canvey be reclaimed from the encroachments of the sea, an agreement was made between the island’s landowners – Sir Henry Appleton, Julius Sludder, John, William and Mary Blackmore, Abigail Baker and Thomas Binckers and his wife – and Joas Croppenburg.
