Thanks, Maurice. That's good information. I suspect Mrs Ethel Penn was the
widow of Frank Penn who died at Bifrons in December 1916. She could have died
in 1940 or the Place could have been requisitioned for military use. The
daughter, Nancy Myrtle Penn was living at Bridge Place in the early 50s when
she married in Patrixbourne church (age 46, spinster, father Frank Penn).
Do you know where I can find out about requisition orders? I've tried
the PRO online catalogue and drawn a blank.
The saga of the college system being totally demolished is very real.
See http://www.ukc.ac.uk/estates—local/EstStrat1.pdf for the gory detail.
Given that some colleges will have no academic staff working there, there will
be no need for an SCR and so on. It's all very grim and sad. Laurence
