Beautiful House but where is it?

[Ruskie]

Wonderful! That's what I like to read "almost unadulterated exterior". That makes me very happy!

 For those people who don't understand the references to Cazz No 12, here's a link to a long search from a while ago. Warning there are 63 pages !!!!

Good afternoon,

I did bring that thread bringing all cazza's unsolved WAIs to the top of the list. Don't know how many looks it may have had but there have been no replies, yet.

I'd forgotten about part two Jan. It was and still is a very interesting search. I still think about it when I see similar photos, but like this one we have been looking for now, it looks as if it is the back of a house and we have no idea what the front looks like.

Back again,

Correction, Ruskie and shaun have been looking at no 234.

Sorry but am I missing something or have I come onto the wrong post

Good afternoon,

You are in the right place Carol but you need to read from reply 136 where Trishann put up a link to Cazza's WAI 12. I had already tried bringing all the unsolved WAIs to the top of the list again.

I've only been 'lurking' on this thread because it's a style of house that I've always liked, even though there wasn't a snowball's chance of me identifying it.

As it turns out, one line on my father's side came from Dorchester and did all their marrying etc at St Peter & St Paul (Dorchester Abbey).  They would have seen the Rectory being built.

On my mother's side, there's a different sort of connection.  The photographer Henry Taunt was a major character in Oxford (for various reasons!) and my grandfather's family knew him.  Taunt's chief assistant was Randolph Adams who married my great-grandmother after they were both widowed, becoming granddad's step-father.

Thanks Yorkslass, you've made my day
