Career
Loughton Hall in 2013

Loughton Hall had been destroyed by fire in 1836, and after Maitland received £30,000 from the City of London for enclosing parts of Epping Forest which he owned, he rebuilt in 1878.[2]

It was designed by William Eden Nesfield in a mock Jacobean style.[3]

Personal life

He married Venetia Neave, daughter of Sir Digby Neave, 3rd Baronet and Hon. Mary Arundell.

He is the grandfather of the politician Sir John Maitland through his son William Whitaker Maitland.
