    1. [KENT-ENG] Bensted of Chegworth Court, Hollingbourne
    2. Luned James
    3. In the 1911 census James Bensted is living in Chegworth Court with his family including son McKenzie aged 24 & daughter Ellen aged 22 an art student. I am interested in Ellen and the Bensted family's relationship with Evelyn Leslie Redgrave. She was a recognised artist and daughter of Richard Redgrave RA, they lived in Knightsbridge. I have a watercolour by Ellen painted in 1914. It is of Street Farm, Ulcombe,  where I believe James Bensted or an earlier James B lived. In 1921 Evelyn Redgrave painted the same building. I also have a photograph of the farm house dated possibly late 1800s or early 1900s with an old couple standing in front. It's an intruiging story, any help would be fantastic. Luned in Tasmania
