Well I wondered if the "W" could refer to Walsoken/Wisbech which isn't far from King's Lynn where I bought it...still looking.
Thanks for your interest.

No help at all, but who, I wonder, would have a fountain pen filled with red ink to hand.

Banker, solicitor, or someone who lived in a big house ;D

Good one Jan...I wonder what made you think of that!....Could it be remembering all the "Sp" or "Grammar" written in the margins of your text books and the underlining of the text  ;D ;D ;D

Good afternoon,

My guess would be "auntie" who had a pen with red ink in it. To correct all her nephews nonsensical gobbledegook.

Could it be a side view of Kelmscott Manor, William Morris` house?
In the Cotswolds.

Similar style, but the windows are different.

I've tried looking at other buildings designed by Richard Cromwell Carpenter,who designed Kilndown
Vicarage(later,Kilndown House),but there are none that I can see that have what look like trefoil headed windows,nor any that are in Norfolk.

Regards
Roger
