In 1836, Henry Lowndes was the attorney of the estate and Henry Tudor Rees was its overseer. A Dr Granes was the occasional medical attendant. Apprentices included estate constables Robert Hamilton and Alexander Grant, George Robinson, watchmen George Francis and Edward Sword, Ann Richards and her mother, Henry Grant, and Elizabeth Clayton.

British Emancipator, Wednesday 31 January 1838, p. 2, online at: https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/viewer/bl/0002372/18380131/017/0002.

[Name] New Works  

Henry Lowndes was the proprietor of New Works in August 1837. Henry Tudor Rees, the late overseer of New Works, had been recently discharged ‘for some gross act of cruelty to a poor apprentice, who was in a state of insanity!’ Mr Ferrier was installed as the new overseer, and Dr McDermott was ‘the paid medical attendant on New Works; himself an owner of slaves, and most unkind and unfeeling in his treatment of sick apprentices.’
