Lt.Colonel J.E.Vaughan of Rheola
Glyn Davies has given the Society a published photograph of the burial of Lt.Colonel J.E. Vaughan of Rheola at Cadoxton Church on the 30th March 1929.
Here is the publication of his will a few months later. It is noticeable that his personal effects would hardly buy a flat today, and I wonder what the skipper of his yacht had done?

The smount referred to was merely his unsettled land; his settled land amounted to an additional £109,272!
Do you have a photograph of Col Vaughan? I am writing the history of the Royal Cornwall Yacht Club
My grandpa was George Ballard the chauffeur and my nanna was the cook.
When the colonel passed away they lived in a barn/cottage on the estate with my father and aunt …… good memories
