from another researcher:
“I visited the house in 1973, when it was no longer owned by the family and was an administrative center for the South Wales postal service. … When I "cold called" at the former home of our cousins in 1973 (then owned by the South Wales postal service), I mentioned Sir Donald Cory, Bt., (died 1935) had been my cousin. A post office exec then kindly took me on a tour of Coryton. Upstairs he showed me many rooms, one of therm, "This was Her Ladyship's [Cousin Lillie's] dressing room." Best of all, downstairs was the former billiards room. Entirely wood paneled. On one section of the wall, he flicked - with his toe (I think it was) a piece of paneling which suddenly opened a hidden door. Very cool, I thought - and still do!”
