Hollowdene/Sunnycote
Bowden-Smith
Description:

Previously known as the Vicarage, then as Sunnycote, and to Mrs Bowden-Smith as 'Mrs Reynolds's', at the 1911 Census, this house was occupied by Leonard Rodwell Wilkinson, son of Col. Josiah Wilkinson, and brother of Captain Neville Rodwell Wilkinson, Ulster King of Arms. Born in 1868, Wilkinson played football for Oxford University and was a barrister and JP. Having been suffering from insomnia, he committed suicide in 1913. (One can only speculate that perhaps this was the reason the house was subsequently pulled down.)

Date: 1898
