    3. Hi Fellow Listers, I am new to the Kent list but an old resident of St Mary in the Marsh, Kingsnorth, Warehorne & Ashford, now living in Tasmania. Yes, I get about. I am interested in finding out more about an E. L.S.Bensted, who later married, I believe, a Redgrave. I have a small watercolour of Street Farm, Ulcombe, dated 1914 with the initials E.L.S.B. and a later watercolour of the older building (I believe 17th century) dated 1921 with the signature E.L.Redgrave. On the back is the name M.Bensted. Also a photo of the same building circa 1900. I've done a little research and found a reference, by a Friend Chapman born 1849 who wrote down his/her memories of the village and its people in 1930, to a James Bensted and his son G. Bensted and Street Farm. I'd be very interested if anyone can shed any light on E. L Bensted/Redgrave and her art. I believe she may have been a minor watercolourist. kind regards Luned in Tasmania
