A ‘work in progress’ family history website starting from an Archer family of South Oxford, who were freemen, brewers, haulage contractors, and first ‘Archer & Co’ then ‘Archer Cowley & Co’ furniture removers in the 19th and 20th Centuries, inter alia, to whom are linked by marriage the Penfolds and Wells of Southwark and Surrey, the Reeds of Devon, the Gilders of Oxford and Hinckley, the Morgans of Petworth, Sussex, the Garners of Middleton, Lancs and many others. There are connections via Phil and the present generation (born 1930s/40s) with a patent law firm known as "UD&L" with motor-racing and Scottish antecedents.
This brilliant pointing work by Graham's contemporary at UCC, Shane Skeet, is a pleasure to see. It takes the outhouse (or more correctly the "Hen Roost", of Mr John Thomas Clarke's proposed house, of October 1887) back to looking, I presume, much more as it did when originally built in 1888. What a joy to be part of restoration of such a lovely-looking piece of 'Rutlandia': the colour of the stones, their neat arrangement and mortaring, and so on.
