I lived there around 1960 and so did General Lodder in 1878. See his writings on wall under staircase

The writing under the stair case on the left side related to a batch of wine Gen Lodder had made from Blackberries ,(I think) Somewhere I have a black and white photograph of that writing. One day I'll find it and send it to JvO. Bill v O

Although I never lived there, but visited our parents on holidays, and must say that was always an enjoyable time, being in a lovely surrounding.
