In reply to Emily Reynolds. Hello Emily. I didn't find anything about the cottages when I was researching Spottiswoode I'm afraid.

Do you know when the cottages at Cambridge (just before one of the arches) was built?

In reply to Sally Paque. Hello Sally. I collect words that I like the sound of and await a chance to use them in a weekly story. Christmas seems the perfect time to bedizen your vocabulary! Very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the story of Spottiswoode.

When I attempted to transcribe the remnants of the inscription over a quarter of a century ago I had no way of tracking down its source. Lacking education and energy, I left it at that. Thank you for solving the problem!

What a charming article & hurrah – a new word (for me, at any rate).
“Bedizen” – I shall try to slip that into conversation over Christmas, an appropriate time!
