Mrs B. and myself paid a visit today to Cornwell Manor, the home of the present Earl of Dudley's late brother, Mr Peter Ward who was known to his friends as "Wardy", and who passed away in 2008. The manor house is located in an isolated spot in the countryside, not too far from either Moreton-in-Marsh or Stow-on-the-Wold. The estate is owned by the Ward family, with the parish church of St Barnabus being in a very remote corner of the village which the Ward's also own. Peter's simple gravestone looks out from the churchyard, over the meadowland towards the house. It is a very peaceful location with not even the background noise of motor traffic.
