Colin Cunningham and Prudence Waterhouse Alfred Waterhouse 1930 - 1905 Biography of a Practice Oxford 1992 pp. 23 146 224. Waterhouse was commissioned to turn Blackmoor Farm House in Hampshire into a mansion by supplying designs for functional buildings and furniture which he carried out between 1866-73. He employed Henry Capel in the Blackmoor project knowing that he could rely on his hi h standards. Although a dedicated reader of Pugin's and Ruskin's writings and producing many study sketches of their work Waterhouse never hesitated to embellish his Gothic designs with features from other historic styles and hence developed a distinct architectural language. He studied the historic styles during his 'Grand Tour' through Europe (1853-54) and was excited about the variety of possibilities. He remarked very poignantly: "Returned home much disgusted with English architecture. We want size light and shade and colour in our buildings - and in ourselves more good humour and good manners - cost of journey £11.6.1.5." W

1931 Rolls-Royce 20/25hp Sedanca de Ville Coachwork by Park Ward & Co Registration Number: LGY 665 Chassis Number: GFT 72 Engine Number: S7Q Launched in 1929, the 20/25 followed established small' Rolls-Royce practice in that it was conceived and built to the same exacting standards as its larger Phantom II stable mate. The 20/25 quickly drew praise from the contemporary press, Autocar noting that it had great refinement of power, and a gentleness and quietness in doing its work, which makes results deceptive. Sedanca de Ville coachwork is regarded as one of the most desirable styles in today's market. Even in period it was extremely costly due to the combination of open and closed designs and the associated build costs and this exquisite example was built by the most respected of quality coachbuilders, Park Ward and Co. An extremely rare car, it is one of just 12 cars built by them in the Sedanca style and the only example built without a boot to upset the line of the D' back, whilst still carrying a spare wheel. A long chassis car, it was commissioned by Sir Stratti Ralli, of Upper Brook Street W1 for his wife, Lady Ralli. With the chassis tested by the factory in early November 1931, a very short build time was given to Park Ward and the car was registered to her on New Years Eve, 1931. Finished to a very high standard in blue over black with a black fabric roof covering, the car appears to have been the subject of a quality restoration in the past. The chauffeur compartment is trimmed superbly in black hide and the rear compartment in pale grey leather with interlocking RR logos on the door trims and a complimenting light grey wool carpet. The walnut door cappings feature light wood inlay and are in excellent order and vanity mirrors are placed for the convenience of passengers. The driver and passengers are separated by a wind up glass division. The roof section over the chauffeur operates with a simple, but very effective mechanism and stows neatly into the fixed roof section with just a few moments work. Twin side-mounted spare wheels are now carried and the original rear mounted luggage rack is retained and quality Lucas Bi Flex headlights feature. A buff continuation logbook, V5 registration document and a number of expired MOT certificates are included in the paperwork. Copies of the Rolls Royce build sheets, a letter from the RREC confirming the car's rarity, sundry invoices from Archers of Dunmow and P&A Wood together with an original handbook complete the file. It is worth noting that the car also features in Those Elegant Rolls-Royce by Lawrence Dalton. Last on the road circa 1993, careful re-commissioning of the car following its long period on display is strongly recommended. The successful purchaser will also have to apply to the DVLA for a new-style V5C document
