The Who's Roger Daltrey's quiet life in grand estate in the Sussex countryside

The Who's Roger Daltrey's quiet life in grand estate in the Sussex countryside describes Sir Roger Daltrey’s long-established, low-profile life in East Sussex. The 82-year-old, co-founder and lead vocalist of The Who, has lived in the region for more than 50 years, while retaining a focus away from the spotlight. The article traces his early education in London, his first self-made guitar in 1957, and the Detours, the skiffle group he joined before The Who’s name was adopted in 1964. In the early 1970s, he bought Holmshurst Manor near Burwash, and on the property opened Lakedown Trout Fishery in 1981, designing four spring-fed lakes himself. The business is now run by his son Jamie, and Daltrey recounted spending roughly a decade decorating the estate, aided locally during restoration work. He was knighted for services to music and charity.
