I used the center column - Title Person White
The title actually extends to the 2nd page, the people are on the family pages, white is the gesso and the paper strips

The background is paper 13 with a masked copy of the paper extending the turquoise

This is The Grange Farm, the home farm for Brauncewell Manor in 1845 when my great grandaunt Ellen Eyre married Holland Catton there and in 1856 when my 2X great grandparents married in that village. The entire parish, which also included the Lodge Farm and the village of Dunsby just a short walk away was owned by the Marquess of Bristol- Frederick William Hervey, 2nd Marquess of Bristol PB, FSA but addressed as Earl Jermyn until 1959 - who was Lord of both the Brauncewell area manors. It is highly likely that Benjamin Hare, Ellen and Jane's father worked for this farm although lived in one of the three Dunsby houses that in existence in 1856. All but 2 of Benjamin and Mary Scott Hare's (Eyre)children were baptized at Brauncewell Saint Andrew church, but the youngest three actually show born at Dunsby. Likely all 5 were born in that hamlet with the eldest at Stixwould and Wellingore. Benjamin was a shepherd and likely walked this footpath often.
