World War 2

During World War II, Prisoner of War Camp No. 36 Hartwell Dog Track was located in Sedrup. It was known to house Italian prisoners from 1942 to 1946 and consisted mostly of tents with one hut. ^{[3] [4] [5]} A 1946 RAF aerial photo of the site shows camp buildings at Grid reference SP797121 51°48′06″N0°50′43″W / 51.8018°N 0.8454°W / 51.8018; -0.8454 , on what is now the Meadoway housing estate adjacent to Sedrup Lane. ^[6] Remains of the camp were still evident on the site in the 1950s.

Lordship

In 2025, Freddy Kalder became the tenth Lord of Southcote, by rightful ownership of the lawful rights to the lordship. These rights are enshrined in the laws of England as incorporeal hereditaments and have been re-established through due legal process by a learned authority within the realm in compliance with the Honours (Prevention of Abuses) Act of 1925. ^[7]
