Borley 4

More Borley

The occupants of the Rectory built 1862

Rev Henry Dawson Bull 1862-1892
Rev Harry Foyster Bull 1892-1928 (son of above)
Rev Guy E Smith 1928-9
Rev Lionel Algernon Foyster 1929-1935
Harry Price took out a year's rental in 25 May  1937

You can see his advert for yourself in the Times index on-line
Especially if you're a local library member in the uk.

House burnt down and badly damaged 
during tenancy of Capt W Gregson in 1939
Demolished 1944

Borley Rectory after the fire.

It's very easy on-line now to find histories, photographs
And blogs about these events. It was possible to see a lot of the 
Borley written material on-line a while back,
 including Price's unpublished manuscript for a 3rd book.
I have copies myself of the two original books
The Most Haunted House in England, and 
The End of Borley Rectory,
where there was the famous, or else infamous picture
Of a flying brick.
Well you can see the workman in those photos, who presumably threw 
the brick caught by the camera.
This photo is of the brick.
