Supporting Information

The Stone House (or Badsey Hall as it is now called) was owned by Arthur Edward Jones from 1915 until his death in 1950. It remained unoccupied for a number of years and became semi-derelict. In 1969, it was bought by Peter Marriott who employed Mick Taylor to renovate the building. Arthur Jones had also owned Silk Mill Cottages (which had been converted from a Silk Mill into residential accommodation in 1864); 9 deeds relating to the Mill were found in 1999 in the attic of Malvern House (also owned by Jones). This scrap of paper was presumably once with them.
