The Visitors' Book
Fred's wonderful journal started with Sybil's birth in 1895. He tracks his fledgling family's progress, activities and social mores of the day over 14 years.
Aviation
A passion for flying is in the family DNA. Kicked off by Wyn's extraordinary pioneering flights in the 1930s, it's passed down the generations.
