I live in Glower now. My father, Norman B StClair Scott, bought it in the 1970s as a holiday house and turned the outbuildings into bedrooms. I've added a kitchen extension and have made Glower my home. Am I right in thinking that Hector was the last of the Adamsons to live here and that he died in the box-bed?
