    Some years ago a Mr Stanier came to my office to see me. I felt sufficiently confident to ask and he was indeed Sir William's grandson; a most pleasant chap. I think that he may no longer be with us

    Sir William lived in Rickmansworth, his home is still there in Chorleywood Road on the right as you enter Ricky from Junc 18 on the M25. It's a large Art Deco bungalow that I assume he had built and he obviously still had an affinity with his old employer as it bears the name Newburn, the same as Churchward's official residence at Swindon.
