This was her base after quitting university and was little more than a rest stop between her numerous countrywide tours for the Women's Social and Political Union. The smaller red brick house on the right was once home to the great painter Joseph Turner.

Memorial in Brompton Cemetery to Major Arthur Justin Ross DSO RL Squadron Commander Royal Flying Corps Killed August 2nd 1917

From the following page I find that Major Ross and a Lieutenant Leo Michener were killed in a flying accident in a biplane over the eastern counties of England. http://tales.wellandhistory.ca/2011/11/15/lt-leo-michener-killed-in-plane-accident/

I just happened to find this grave which tells us of the dangers of early flight.
