The architect had the same surname (not related) as a Pre-Raphaelite painter.

I really haven't got a clue. The only place I can think of is The Red House and it's not that!

by Susie Fri Jan 28, 2011 4:50 pm

Architect - CW Stephens? Not that it helps much if it is LOL

by feathers Fri Jan 28, 2011 4:59 pm

More clues please Lydia!

by Guest Fri Jan 28, 2011 10:41 pm

There's a personal connection. Think about my recent-ish news. The architect's namesake (not Stephens) had an exhibition at the Royal Academy about 14 or so months ago.

Which famous person lived here?

by Guest Sat Jan 29, 2011 9:18 am

Well done Jean. I'll think about that, but just wanted to say that Foxhill House is now my place of work. Isn't it beautiful?

(The yes with dots is because when I looked at your answer, the word architect just had dots after it)

by Guest Sat Jan 29, 2011 9:40 am

I think it's Chartwell - Winston Churchill.
