Craigweil House near Bognor Regis was built by the Countess of Newburgh, who died in 1797. She used to call it the ‘The Pavilion’ – it is thought this may have had some connection with the Brighton Pavilion.In 1828, The Pavilion belonged to the Rev. Henry Raikes, and later to Sir Alexander Dixie, Capt RN. He was born in 1780 and served at Trafalgar with distinction. From 1850 it was occupied by Colonel Austen, at which time it was still known as The Pavilion. Dr Alonzo Stocker owned it in 1880; his widow died in 1927 after living in Craigweil Lodge. The latter was owned and occupied by their son Hubert Stocker in 1939.
