A really interesting site is that of Everton House, now a very fine B & B, which Hon John Bemister had built in 1891 and passed on to his daughter Hannah m. to H. J. B. Woods. HJB and Hannah had 7 daughters two of whom were grandmothers of members of our St. John’s organizing committee! Everton House graciously hosted a meeting of our committee last summer and we had a delicious afternoon tea with a Woods family group photo gazing down on us. This was a link with the past for sure, and we are proposing to have some activity here during the 2009 festivities. If you are going to NL sometime be sure to check it out.
