Heneage Finch appears on the Great North Road scene quite early in its history as an Assistant Surveyor. It was mentioned that he was a rather arrogant, rather insufferable man who was a grandson of the Earl of Winchelsea and was 22 years old when he left England for Australia. Thanks to Michael Hodgetts, also a Chartered Surveyor and whose mother was a Finch, we have more background about this man.
