A novel indeed, perhaps like an Agatha Christie one who lived up the road from Braziers in her later life and passed away there. Interestingly perhaps, I've found a letter d/d 2 Nov. 1924 written from Braziers Park congratulating Conservative MP, Sir William Bridgeman on his election victory. signed W Mount. I think this W Mount is possibly Sir William Mount, MP for Newbury and also a barrister. He must have been visiting the Moon's residence as his own estate was near Aldermaston. He had a son of the same name who got married in 1929 at the village church in Moulsford, Berks. Not that far from Braziers as it happens. But an odd choice of place to have his marriage for its a small place even today, but it did used to have the training school for staff of the Berkshire Lunatic Asylum at Cholsey.
Still, his newly married son had a daughter named Mary Fleur Mount who would later marry a Scottish stockbroker named Ian Cameron, and their son is David Cameron, PM. With their estate in Scotland shown on the thread, a nice house in London I'm sure, it made me wonder why Herbert Moon bothered buying Braziers Park off Valentine Fleming? The school bought it in 1950 for £8,600. Paul
