Wendy Dodds, daughter of Mrs Eugenie (Jean) Price comments,
The Family home at Cheriton Bishop, Devon, known as "Poleford" has on the second storey
two sets of windows that have been built in.
In my Grandfather's day, these were boarded up as there was a tax on the numbers of windows
you had and this was done as a cost saving measure. Board the windows up and you pay less tax.
Inside the home (Wendy was there in Abt 1993) the kitchen had a very large open fireplace with
an Ingle Hook in it. Another smaller oven was set into the side of the fire place for cooking.
Additional information has been provided by Mrs Eugenie (Jean) Price, nee' Annett (Born 1922),
the Daughter of Mrs Bertha Annett, nee' Saffin (1895 - 1967), given verbally and in very basic notes as
remembered by her, to George Graeme Saffin (born 1940) during several visits in January 2011
and incorporated into the family tree. She also was certain that Edie, Born 1901 was
another member of this family.5
