Pound House at Longhope, the home of Alfred Beard (General)
How the facts of history come to light, The Pound House at Longhope rebuilt for
Hannah Bright by Norwich Union Fire Office in 1851. Hannah Bright is linked to my
Husband's side of the family, and Evan Clement Lloyd missing from the 1911 Census is a
descendant. I still have a lot of research to do.
The Bright's and Dawes of Longhope the local Church has many memorium plaques on its walls. A cousin who lives in Australia now used to work for the Norwich Union and wrote an article on the House and family, for the Norwich Union in house magazine about the fire.
