  • Fascinating information
  • The author Michael Knox Beran, in WASPs: The Splendors and Miseries of an American Aristocracy, pages 455-46, appears to describe this house: mentions the disused coal-pit in the sunken area (near the cellar door to the kitchen), the iron boot-scraper at the front door, and the neglected studio at the back of the garden. The account would seem to date from the 1970s.
