In 1930, Brundish Hall, a Suffolk farmhouse located next to Brundish parish church, was acquired by an American millionaire whose hobby was collecting old properties, apparently. The building was dismantled piece by piece, each piece being numbered and the whole was transported to the U.S.A. where it was re-built. I do not know the location but there is a clue in that some church brasses from Brundish turned up in Philadelphia.
I appreciate that this is a long shot but.... Can anyone suggest who this millionaire might have been? Where he lived? The location of any properties that he "collected" and had rebuilt?
The British newspapers have so far been unable to shed any further light on this problem. Also would anyone know of the best contacts in Pennsylvania/Philadelphia to try with respect to Archives.
