| Admin/Biog History | From 8 July-8 September [1930], Waterfield rented Kentswood house in West Tytherley, Hampshire. He seems to have been on holiday following the end of his studies at Christ Church, Oxford. During this stay, he also spent 10 days in Guernsey at the end of August [1930], from where he took a day trip to the island of Sark. In the autumn he travelled to Menton in France, where presumably he stayed with his parents at their house Le Clos du Peyronnet. |
