Was the robbery of the Baroness in the countryside of Millbrook an inside job? IT was the inside job carried out at one of Hampshire’s most fashionable houses – at Millbrook, then deep in the countryside, distant from the suburbs of Southampton. The day a noblewoman was robbed of hundreds of pounds worth of jewels and cash in a supposed burglary. The plan was so botched that the butler and the maid soon came under suspicion but what made the case so astounding was the remarkable evidence of a material witness who implicated a highly regarded Winchester solicitor, claiming that he had been given a treasure trove by the lawyer as to the whereabouts of the buried loot which was duly recovered as indicated.
