Not a local Lightship, but gave it's name to the House after a shipping incident involving the House Owners.

The Owner (+Wife) of the property had set up their own Brick Company after Military Service.

They were known for the Quality of Bricks and eventually built this property. Also famed for a magnificent collection of fine art and a generous benefactor to many causes.

Were these normal sized bricks, or are we looking at a model?

Half a Million special bricks were used for the House and grounds. There was a direct connection to the Owner.
