Lady Place
The mock-Tudor mansion Lady Place in Sutton Courtenay (the Sinclair home) was used by University of Reading after Sinclair's death in 1990. It was destroyed when a fire ripped through the house on 28th August 1998 (a local man was subsequently cleared of arson charges). An estate of private houses was built on the site in 2000, with a half-timbered apartment block occupying the precise location of the mansion.
