More about this scene
The Greswold family was the most distinguished in Solihull's history, and it was Humphrey Greswold who built Malvern Hall in the 18th century.

Or does anyone know of an ex-pupils group or local history group who would like them? (Happy to post them) felicity.morgan@talktalk.net
