    "Peter Charles Eliot MBE TD (30 October 1910[1] – 16 December 1995[2]) was Archdeacon of Worcester from 1961 to 1975.[3] Eliot was educated at Wellington College and Magdalene College, Cambridge. He was commissioned into the Kent Yeomanry and eventually rose to be its Commanding Officer from 1949 to 1952. Parallel to that time he qualified as a Solicitor in 1934 and was a Partner in a City of London firm until 1953. In that year he began studying for the priesthood at Westcott House, Cambridge. His first ecclesiastical post was a curacy at St Martin-in-the-Fields.[4] He was vicar of Cockermouth from 1957 to 1961; Rural Dean of Cockermouth and Workington from 1960 to 1961; vicar of Cropthorne from 1961 to 1965; and a residentiary canon at Worcester Cathedral from 1965 to 1975.

    Here is Mount Congreve> on the OS 25", centred where I think they are standing. I think in the background I see steps heading down to the right, and they are standing North of the house.

    I don't see either gentleman in the 1911 census (or the 1901 either!), so I suspect they may be visiting from Over the Water.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Here is a Myles Ponsonby of about the right vintage.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    And that Myles had a brother, the Hon Bertie...
  • Niall McAuley said:
    If it is my Myles, he died in action in France, 28th of September 1915. That Bertie lived to be 82.
