In reply to Chisholm Maxwell. Good morning. After some confusion when Google kept leading me to the Australian Gledswood, I discovered the story of Kinghorne. I’m pleased to say that I bought your book and I am looking forward to learning more about his life.

Some beautiful images of Gledswood and the view.
You might be interested to read further about the designer and architect of Gledswood, Alexander Kinghorne, and the later naming of his daughter’s home in Australia: Gledswood at Narellan, in my book “The Intelligent Mr Kinghorne” [https://scholarly.info/book/the-intelligent-mr-kinghorne/]. Gledswood Hills is now a suburb in southern Sydney, named after the house.

In reply to TOM GARDNER. Good evening Tom from a wild and windy England. Writing this post took me back to school holiday afternoons watching old Robin Hood films with my mum. Happy memories.

TOM (NYC)
I MUST SAY; I FIND THIS OFFERING A MOST PLEASING READ – AS DO ALL THOSE, WHO’VE COME BEFORE.
THE SCOPE, AND THE ACTUAL PHOTO OF THE ‘REMAINS’ – ALLOWS ONE TO IMAGINE ONES YOUTHFUL -TALES OF ‘ROBIN HOOD’ … THUS BECOMING, A BIT MORE REAL AND MEMORABLE.
MAY THE GODS OF HISTORY – ALLOW THE ‘UNEARTHING’ OF WHATEVER ‘REMAINS’, BE … ‘REBORN’.
MANY THANKS –
TOM

In reply to Alan Moule. Thank you so much Alan. Everyone seems to agree that the stones were taken into storage by the local council, but no-one seems to know their whereabouts. I am very much hoping that someone sees this story and can help, as I ran out of ideas of people who might have the answer. I haven't given up yet!

What an interesting story, so much more to be uncovered there I feel, probably need to find a local person with a long memory? Where is the stone work? In some ones garden?
Thanks to FF for these wonderfully researched items, landing in my inbox ever Saturday morning, I really do enjoy them.
