Erection date: 10/2/2008
John Inman, 1935-2007, comedy actor & past King Rat, lived here, The Heritage Foundation.
Plaque unveiled by Wendy Richard, David Croft and Ron Lynch (his partner). It is located at the end of a 'gated' estate, hence the slight fuzziness of the photo.
2023: Denis Hoare kindly sent us his razor-image as a much-needed replacement.
