We also discovered recently that it looks like a famous World War 1 flying ace lived in Rosehall too - Captain James Fitz-Morris. There are a couple of photos too - sadly of his funeral.

You can read about him on various sites eg;
Wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Fitz-Morris

The aerodrome

Couple of his funeral - which include photographs of Rosehall.

One photo shows cottages attached to the East wall?

Lovely Photo's Alistair. I went with hubby and we saw Rosehall at the beginning of July. All the land behind it has homes built on it (Rosehall Gardens) now. Still it was nice to see where hubbies great grandparents had lived.
