Scope and content
Documents relating to Ashcombe House, a Georgian manor house, situated in Wiltshire, England, which Beaton rented from 1930 onwards. When the lease expired in 1945, Beaton was forced to leave the property. His book, "Ashcombe: The Story of a Fifteen-Year Lease", was later published in 1949. The documents relate primarily to the termination of Beaton's lease in 1945.
