Maison Talbooth, Dedham

[6] The couple had only one child Louisa Maria Collyer and unfortunately at the age of only 37 Edward died leaving Caroline a widow with one daughter.

She erected a memorial in his honour at Gunthorpe Church which can be seen here Soon after his death she moved to Dedham and lived in a house at the site of Maison Talbooth in Stratford Road.

[7] Her brother Thomas L'Estrange Ewen had bought the Rookery, which is in the same street, several years before so it is likely that she wished to live near him.

In the 1830s she and her daughter Louisa spent some time travelling as they were frequently mentioned in the social pages called "Fashionable Arrivals".

[8] In 1842 Louisa married the local lawyer Thomas John Barstow and the couple had a large family.

The house was bought by Henry Richard Edwards (1830–1906) who lived there with his wife Mary and children for the next twenty years.

[11] James Dyer Tremlett (1836–1918), a barrister, lived at the property with his wife Louisa[12] and daughter Beatrice until about 1894 and then moved to Dalthorpe in Dedham where he remained until his death in 1918.
