Stuart Court - 1915
In October 1915, the Thetford and Watton Times reported that "The Misses Colman (Ethel and Helen) have recently erected a block of twenty-two small houses in Recorder Road, in memory of the late Professor James Stuart. The formal opening ceremony was performed on Tuesday by the Master of the Rolls, Lord Cozens-Hardy."
James Stuart had married Laura Elizabeth Colman in 1890, and together they moved to Norwich when he became a director of the mustard company on the death of her father, Jeremiah James Colman, in September 1898 - only a few months after Laura's sister, Florence Ester, had married Edward T. Boardman, the architect who would subsequently design these buildings as Stuart's memorial.
They were decorated with a lettered tablet and other ornamental work by Hubert Alexander Miller.
