About Us

Sir Arthur Ellis Trust

Sir Arthur was Professor of Medicine at the London Hospital Whitechapel and founded the medical unit there for academic medicine. Later he became Regius Professor of Medicine at Oxford University. He married into the Foot-Mitchell family who owned Quendon Hall and a quantity of land around Newport.

In the 1950s most of the Newport property was sold but small portions including the London Road site at Newport remained in trust.

The Trustees believe that their plans will demonstrate to others that it is possible to build with environmental concern and with local needs in mind.

The London Road site with all the advantages it will bring to Newport village, to its new residents and to the adjoining school will persuade others considering development to adopt this model and help bring about the changes in planning schemes in Essex which we all need and want.

You can visit a home designed for the Trustees by Zedfactory architects at the Building Research Establishment in Watford. www.bre.co.uk
