| "The Briary", Freshwater Bay. This house was built on the same site as that which was the residence of the artist G.F.Watts. The original property was destroyed by fire in 1934. |
The morning was spent visiting Malcolm & Sue Gould, to whom we had been introduced by some of our other friends and contacts during our research activities. The Gould's live at "The Briary" near Freshwater Bay, which is a large house that was built on the site of the former residence of the artist G.F.Watts, which was also known as The Briary, and which was destroyed by fire in 1934. Malcolm and his wife made us extremely welcome and gave us an insight into the history of the property, together with a glimpse of many old documents in his possession which were of great interest. We then went for lunch at a small restaurant adjacent to Alfred, Lord Tennyson's former residence, "Farringford" which is a private residence in this day and age.
