The auction was selling some of the belongings of John Mason and his wife Diana Bruen Coventry who had, I am told, been living at Wolverton.<br /><br /><br /><br />Dandy Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02094316200536943169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-704095971276575721.post-2210633208355215602013-07-02T12:12:10.694+01:002013-07-02T12:12:10.694+01:00The Worcestershire Record Office - now in its glam...The Worcestershire Record Office - now in its glamorous new home at The Hive in Worcester - would no doubt be interested to receive the deeds and plans as a loan or gift if they could be spared.

Her husband, Ian Elliot, had owned and lived in the house for 25 years, and it was subsequently lived in by his widow, I believe that one other person owned Wolverton hall between the Actons and the Elliots, and sold many of the fireplaces.<br /><br />Nicholas Coleridge<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00796859006124982313noreply@blogger.com
