The drawings below were found tucked away in the diary, on the same page as the
entry posted a few days ago. After cleaning them up and analysing the subject matter in each one, we have determined that these sketches were made during Alfred's walk from
Newton Surmaville to
Barwick Park. This conclusion was made after we realised that the picture showing the mansion, was of course
Newton Surmaville, drawn from the end of the driveway. The field with the fence we believe was drawn on
Two Towers Lane, looking across the fields in front of
Barwick Park. And the image of the rabbit must have simply caught
Alfred's eye as he was travelling.
Map of Alfred's Walk
Here is a map of the route we believe
Alfred may have taken to walk from
Newton Surmaville to
Barwick Park. If you live in the area or are visiting
Yeovil soon, why not walk it yourself and imagine what may have been going through
Alfred's head as he went to take over his father's position.
