I ventured up Graham’s ladder to record the initials of the Finden family which were engrraved up near the eaves. |
RJF is Richard James Finden who was the son of Thomas & Harriet and was born in 1827 |
WF is William Finden who was Richard’s younger brother and born in 1831 |
HF is for Harriet Finden, Thomas’ wife. |
TF is Thomas himself. Possibly these names commemorate family events, Harriet for thir marriage in 1825, the two boys for their births in 1827 and 1831. Thomas is unique in having a year after his name - I wonder why? |
