Thanks for that Mike. What a facinating story, still in the family after 88 years. I wonder who are the current registered proprietors. Did Ball senior establish a trust to hold it ? Is it held by the Executors of the estate of Ball senior ? Was it willed to nephews/neices ? Have they established a trust to hold it ? Do they get any assistance from the CWGC for maintenance ? It's a book in itself.
