Fanny Wale writes in Shelford Parva about The Red House: the Red House, built by Mr Bagnall in 1890-2. The architect was a Mr Pilkington. Whis this house was being built the Bagnalls lived in Cintra Lodge in Church Street. She was Hilda Dunn; they have children, Frederick, Mayrick, Hilda and May. In the neighbourhood they are well-known as clever amateur musicians and actors, and Mr Bagnall is also a very successful cultivator of mushrooms and asparagus which he grows in the allotment fields beyond his house.
