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.

Famous quotes containing the words lady and/or place:
“Och, Dublin City, there is no doubtin’,
Bates every city upon the say;
‘Tis there you’ll see O’Connell spoutin’,
An’ Lady Morgan makin’ tay;
For ‘tis the capital of the finest nation,
Wid charmin’ pisintry on a fruitful sod,
Fightin’ like divils for conciliation
An’ hatin’ each other for the love of God.”
—Charles James Lever (1809–1872)
“There isn’t a Monday that would not cede its place to Tuesday.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
