Samuel Newington 3 Marriage: Martha Playsted

 Noted events in his life were:

• Occupation: Surgeon of Ticehurst.

Samuel married Martha Playsted, daughter of Samuel Playsted and Mary Bean. (Martha Playsted was born in 1740 and died on an unknown date.)

•The ‘madhouse’ at Ticehurst, owned by Samuel Newington, opened in 1792. •The Newington family had lived in Ticehurst since the 15th century and Samuel (1739-1811) was a village surgeon and apothecary •He was one of ten children and he himself had fifteen, ten sons and five daughters. •In 1793 Samuel advertised the asylum in The Morning Chronicle and said that he had thirty years of experience in dealing with the insane and it is believed that he looked after them in his own home, The Vineyard.

• Four of his sons qualified as surgeons and two of them, Charles and Jesse assisted their father and took over after his death.

•It was Charles Newington who was the subject of the entry in ‘Sussex Worthies’. Lower wrote of Charles’ father Samuel, in 1865: ‘His residence, The Vineyard, with its little lawn and spreading trees was the admiration of every passer-by, as the type of an English rural Retreat.’  •Then in about 1790 ‘Mr Newington senior erected an Asylum for the Insane in the grounds attached to his residence…’ Charles built The Highlands in 1812 on a piece of land adjoining the Asylum as a home for his family.

Ticehurst House Hospital - Historical Background

Ticehurst House Hospital was opened as a private lunatic asylum at Ticehurst, East Sussex, in 1792. The founder was Samuel Newington (1739-1811), who was already in practice at Ticehurst as a surgeon and apothecary. The asylum remained in the ownership of his descendants until recent times, and they continued to serve as its medical superintendents until the death of Herbert Francis Hayes Newington (1847-1917).

At first the hospital admitted a number of pauper patients as well as its more numerous private clients. However no pauper patients were admitted after 1838, and the clientèle became increasingly upper class as the century progressed. Already in the 1820s a prospectus was issued with impressive illustrations of the asylum and its grounds, which included a pagoda, a gothic summer house and an aviary for gold and silver pheasants. Later, in 1882, a newspaper report described the Ticehurst establishment as ducal, with horses and carriages, valets and liveried servants, hothouses, greenhouses, and its own pack of harriers. In keeping with this rise in social status, patients were increasingly drawn not only from Sussex, Kent, and the Home Counties, but from the whole of Great Britain and even from overseas.

In addition to Ticehurst House itself (known in the early years of the Hospital as The Establishment), the Newington family acquired a number of other properties in the vicinity for the accommodation of patients and staff. By 1827 the Hospital consisted of Ticehurst House itself, and two nearby houses, The Vineyard and The Highlands, set in pleasure grounds amounting to over forty acres. The acquisition of Brick Kiln Farm and other properties brought the total land holding to over three hundred acres by 1900.

Following the death of Herbert Francis Hayes Newington, the ownership and management structure of the Hospital was formalised by the registration of 'The Doctors Newington' in 1918 as a private unlimited company. The share capital of the company was divided equally between four trusts representing the various branches of the family: the Hayes Newington Family Trust Ltd; the Alexander Newington Trust Ltd; the Samuel Newington Family Trust Ltd; and the Herbert Newington Trust Ltd. The Hospital was run by a Board of Directors on which each of the Trusts was represented. Day to day management was the responsibility of two employees, the Secretary and, with respect to patient care, the Medical Superintendent. The dominant figure, however, until at least the 1950s, was the Chairman of the Board, Herbert Archer Hayes Newington.

In 1918 when 'The Doctors Newington' was registered as a company, its purposes were stated to be not only the management of the asylum, but also farming. The estate continued to be extensive until 1951, when it consisted of 311 acres. However a series of sales in the decade which followed, which included the disposal of Brick Kiln Farm, The Gables, Quarry Villa, and a substantial part of the land of Broomden Farm, brought a large reduction in the land holding, and the return of the Hospital to its original single function of psychiatric patient care.

The company was re-incorporated in 1967 as 'Ticehurst House Private Clinic Ltd.'. It became part of Nestor Nursing Homes Ltd. in 1974. Following this it was acquired by Westminster Healthcare and became part of the Priory Healthcare group in 2000. Information about the Priory group and its history can be found on the internet at http://www.prioryhealthcare.co.uk/.
