The Bright Smith house, Newton Road, Little Shelford

History of the Bright Smith house

Fanny Wale describes the bright Smith house in ‘Shelford Parva.’

Just beyond Marshall’s Cottages are the stable-yard and garden of Vandeleur Bright Smith esq., and a small brick and red-tiles house which he bought from the Rev T Soden who married Eleanor Finch. In 1894 he bought it from his brother C B Wale.
