The date is not entirely certain, but it is known that Sir William Rothenstein rented Lyday House from Alfred Powell for several years before moving to his own house at Iles Green Farm in Oakridge in 1913, so it is likely that the move to Tunley was made, at least in part, around 1906 – 1910. The cottages were set in a secluded, wooded area, on one of the “wooded hills” which Powell loved, on steeply-falling ground, above a meadow which swept down below the buildings into a sheltered combe.
