Louisa (I think) made a coverlet that is now in the Brighton Pavilion.
Broomfield House originally belonged to the Jackson family, in about 1700. A Thomas Jackson married a Miss Tash and had three daughters. One of them (taking Broomfield with her) married back into the Tash family. Their daughter, Elizabeth, married a Michell, whose grand-daughter Louisa married Philip, and left Broomfield to her son.
The house is a large one, with its own park, situated in N.W. London off Powys Lane (presumably named after our family). The estate was sold by Reginald Cecil. It now belongs to the local council, Enfield, who have built a sports ground and tennis courts in the park. The house when I saw it (in the early sixties) was a half-hearted museum. I see that it is still labelled as such on my map of London, but I have also heard that it was burnt down.
In 1808, living at Wargrave, Berks - Alumni Oxoniensis.
