Books
The Trust is happy to have acquired recently the following books to add to its library: Aldeborough A Song of the Sea (which includes a piece on Richard Cobbold); Miracles in Lady Lane (Co-authored by Dr John Blatchly); Return from the Natives (the story of Margaret Mead, celebrated anthropologist, by Professor Peter Mandler, Fellow of Caius College, Cambridge, for which the Trust provided a fragment of information) and Diaries 1832-1921 (transcribed by Lady Kenya Tatton-Brown containing great insight into the lives of Gen. William Hassel Eden (1800-1882) and Elfrida Tatton-Brown (1873-1951)).
The Trust is grateful to Jonathan Shackleton for a copy of the November 1960 issue of East Anglian magazine containing an interesting article on the Eastern Union Railway and to Lady Kenya for two plates once the property of Mrs. John Cobbold, née Wilkinson.
Some generations of Cobbold owners of the Rannoch Estate in Scotland had their own exclusive tweed woven in Aberfeldy. The Trust is grateful to Iain Somerville, the present owner of the Estate, for a metre length of Rannoch Tweed given for inclusion in the Trust’s archive.
People will not look forward to posterity, who never look backward to their ancestors.
