'''William Henry Newdigate''' (16 May 1824 [[Astley Castle]], Warwickshire - 4 November 1884 [[Plettenberg Bay]], [[South Africa]]) <ref>http://bit.ly/2DrmqEa> was the third son of 11 children of [[Francis Parker Newdigate]] and Lady Barbara Maria Newdigate nee Legge (29 November 1791 [[Hayes, Kent]] - 22 April 1840 [[Lewisham]], Kent). <ref>http://bit.ly/2SnNyyj> The Newdigate ancestral seat was at [[Arbury Hall]] in Warwickshire.
William and his brother, George, spent ten months in South Africa, the guests of the Hon. Henry Barrington on his estate, Portland, near Knysna, while looking to buy a suitable farm in the vicinity. They eventually bought the farm Roodefontein renamed Redbourn, of about 1 500 hectares in the Piesang Valley, from Hendrick Lodewyk Pio for £600. To this property he added the farms Ladywood, Buccleugh, Astley and Jackal's Kraal. Over the following 16 years he became a prominent figure in the small local community.
