The luxurious little mansion seen in the accompanying reproduction is
built of bricks cut to about one-fourth of their usual size, and the
windows are of glasses fitted into wooden frames in the usual manner.
There are four rooms--each with plastered walls and carpeted floor--and
a "practicable" stair-case leads to the first and second floors. The
house was built by Stanley Barlow, a son of the Moravian minister of
Leominster, as a residence for his two cats, who have lived in it for
more than a year, making good use of all the arrangements for their
comfort, and apparently quite proud of their unique little domicile. The
building is 4ft. 5in. high, and 4ft. broad, and boasts the name of
"Tunnicliffe Villa," the owner being an enthusiastic admirer of the
Yorkshire batsman. Photo. sent in by Mr. Alf. Death, of Fern Cottage,
Leominster.
