Does anyone know anything of the Britton family, who lived at Alcester Heath House, Kings Coughton, Alcester, in the 1880s? John James Britton - previously of Birmingham and a published but minor poet and novelist - lived there with his family and practised as a solicitor in Butter Lane, Alcester, until the business collapsed in about 1888. Is the property still inhabited? It's really his grandson, the writer Lionel Britton, who interests me, but any family information would be most welcome. Tony

Alfred died in Liverpool in 1919, Ellen lived until December 1950.
