Tweed

House built by Captain T. E. Symonds and named after his ship. From the 1870s to his death in 1904 the house was occupied by William John Charles Moens, writer, antiquarian, 'great champion of Forest Rights [and] pioneer in the growth of Sugar Beets, andc'. His widow lived at the house until she died in 1916. Perkins also says that 'The story of this house is told in a book (written by one of the twins [adopted by Capt. Symonds]) called Les Jumelles or the Twins. London 1828'. This book has been republished twice and all three versions are available in the British Library. See Bibliography for details.
