USING THIS SITE.

Pictures.

For your convenience, descriptions of all of the pictures on this site have been listed on one page - click here.  
Links to these pictures are provided in the text in the form of a small thumbnail image. Clicking on these thumbnails will open a new window containing the larger picture. Descriptions of the pictures are available by holding the mouse cursor over each thumbnail picture and waiting a second or two. Some pictures have their own accompanying text.
Also, some pictures are duplicated throughout the site, for example this picture of the Sewells at home in Dudwick House is in both People/Philip Sewell  and Buildings/Houses/Dudwick House.
Brief description of the picture here.
For reasons of space, most of the photographs have not been reproduced at full size. Also, the quality of some of the pictures is not brilliant, as my scanner is a bit grubby. I really should give up smoking!
