Circa 1888 Carisbrooke This property is a portion of the farm Eastford, sold out of the Estate of George Rex to John Sutherland in 1845. It was purchased in 1849 by the Diocese of Cape Town, which laid out the housing lots here in 1883. HPL van Rooyen took transfer of this lot in 1884. Alexander McMaster bought the land in 1888 and built his family home here. In 1902 the property was sold to Albert Weeks, who was a town councillor in 1923 and owner of the second car to be brought to Knynsa. He died in 1929. The property was later transferred to Thesens & Co. and then sold to Johnny Lambert in 1954, who sold it to Maryna Bull in 1994. Since 1996 this property has been home of Architect Andre Vercueil and his family.
