For more information on Rosamond Harding see Michael Cole’s article. Rosamond had started a degree in music at Newnham College but dropped out. In 1927 she moved to Madingley Hall which her father had inherited. She started work on a doctoral thesis supervised by Edward Dent. This was completed in 4 years and was for many years the authoritative work on the subject:  The Pianoforte – its history traced to the Great Industrial Exhibition, 1851.   Her research had taken her to Berlin, Nuremberg, Stuttgart, and Brussels. She also received much advice from Capt. Evelyn Broadwood.
