My widowed grandmother, Elizabeth Percy , lived there in the early 1920s. I think she would have been a tenant, not the owner. I think she must have had at least one of her daughters, my mother, Florence Evelyn living with her. My mother got engaged in 1921 while living there, and I have lovely photos of her and her handsome Swedish fiance John, sitting in the back garden there. Tragically John died from contracting pneumonia, when he fell through the ice on the river (I presume it was on the ice of the Cam). When I pass that house, I see the doorbell and think that was where someone rang to call to tell her that terrible news. She was absolutely distraught, but went on to train to be a nurse at Dulwich Hospital, and eventually met my father, Alfred, and married him at Holy Trinity Church in Cambridge in 1938.
