Footnote: Charles George Blomfield was an architect who travelled to India in 1913 and based himself there until retirement in 1951, working with Edwin Lutyens on the planning and development of New Delhi and is credited with designing many of the bungalows in the scheme. He met and befriended Flora Christina, our vendor's aunt, on one journey by ship between Britain and India, later marrying her.
