Laura Berry's investigation into the history of Mollstone Wood in Surrey found that this Arts and Crafts inspired home was commissioned by the celebrated cellist Beatrice Harrison in 1934. Beatrice shot to fame in the 1920s when she was broadcast on BBC radio playing her cello in accompaniment with a nightingale in her garden, close to where she later built Mollstone Wood. Laura's book charting its 80-year history was created on behalf of the House Detectives team, and has been warmly received by the home owners who have requested extra hardbound copies for family members.
