Historian Andy Grant takes a look at the succession of owners of Cranham Holme - later Cranham Court - such as an orchard lover, a disreputable doctor and a philanthropist.
In St Mary’s Lane, where London’s urban sprawl gives way to rolling countryside, there is a long driveway signposted “Cranham Court Nursing Home”, although few have noticed the magnificent house hidden behind its screen of trees.
Originally named Cranham Holme, the house was built 1902-03 for Charles Crofton-Black.
Roland Bell, known as Ronnie, has died aged 82 at Dickinson Court Care Home in Whitehaven. He lived in Newtown, Frizington after returning from National Service. Mr Bell lived a full life, working at the Kangol factory in Cleator Moor, as a bus conductor and in an iron ore mine. Mr Bell most recently lived at Bransty. Members of the Royal British Legion have paid their respects to Mr Bell for his service. Treasurer of the Wath Brow RBL branch Keith Faulkner said: “I was in the same battalion.” Mr Bell served in The Second World War with the prestigious Border Regiment as a police officer.
