Nicholas van Hoogstraten

[Uncle C]

Anyone got an update on this character, in particular the Palace he was building near Uckfield.

[Notters]

I thought he was in prison?!

He only did a year, the Court of Appeal quashed the case.
"Quashed" is a funny word isn't it?

 

[Guy Fawkes]

I believe that his place near Uckfield was never completed, the roofers returned and stripped the (copper?) roof after they failed to get paid, and the place is now full of damp.

I think he's supposed to be living abroad now

I believe the previous building on that land burnt down in mysterious circumstances. That was fortunate.
