Gloucestershire / Re: Small Classical Houses in Glos 1680-1760

I worked for Raymond Cochrane from 1976 to 1980 as a house cleaner. My then husband worked on the estate on the Building and Maintenance team.
We lived in Barn Cottage - the residence converted for the domestic staff adjacent to as it was then called "The Manor". I worked 12 hours a week (mornings) in exchange for the house.
"His" "wife" Sally Latimer was an interesting character - an actress. She died of a stroke while I was "in service".
The whole situation was an interesting and fascinating set up.
