Hi Sarutherf

I would be very interested to see the inside of the building or any plans.

Sir James (my 3x ggg) owned the house from some time the 1860s to his death in 1892.  We think the previous owner/tenant was Jenny Lind, the Swedish opera singer.

All we have Of the building are the two newspaper clips above.  Would love to know more

Hi,  I have some very large plans of the house which would be difficult to photocopy or scan but I could look into it.  I also have quite a few photos of the interior rooms as it was during the time of my Great Grandfather in the 20s/30s.  I also have one of the exterior which is sadly torn in half but very similar to the one on the newspaper clips.

Just to say I have taken some very quick photos of the plans and interior photos on my iPhone which I could forward to you if you would like?  There are about 14 so may be better to have a private email address to send them to you on?
