Your Bungalow is called Hill Top, Bridstow, Ross on Wye

Hi Ray,
Capt. W F Campbell I think but will have to check it out lived at Harewood End Manor now owned by the Duchess of Cornwall HRH the place was for a long time a smoking lab for beagles then with all the Animal Rights people closed it down it was then empty for along time, till it was taken by Prince Charles it was said that William would live there. if you look on google A49 from ross to Hereford look for Harewood the house is between harewood dot and the A49 road. it has a square building and church by the side.
Noeles house was called Weir End House and still is as I went by today I took a look, still waiting on Aunt for info. you may pick up some thing on the house by searching net but you may need to look for her under her full name Joan Noele Gorden, Weir End House was her mother home and Nolly would come back at weekends Nollys mums maiden name was Honey it that helps. You never know your Kings may turn up in some info somewhere. As they were such gardeners as Head they may well of put things into the Ross Horticultural show. I know they keep records but will have to find out who keeps them
Regards Diana

Thanks for that Lydart,
the way I look at it is follow up all leads as you never know what they will turn up. Sometimes they work for you and sometime they end up working out for someone else and you have done the work anyway so you may as well pass it on.
Regards Diana

Hi Ray, Sounds about right, it would have been in the 60s she was there. my mother and father knew her and we would go there as children. both my mother and father are dead now so I cant ask them, but if you give me a few days I will ask my Aunt what she knows

Hi if you look on google earth for ross on wye, then zoom in on the A40 towards monmouth and about 1/2 mile down the carriage way, where the river wye curves round close to the motorway is Noels old house, it a nursing home  now, the part of ross is called weir end

good luck
regards Diana
