    1. Thanks for this fascinating post! I learned a few things about my grandfather that I didn't previously know. He was always known as Eddie to distinguish him from his father. His paternal aunt Caroline married another Harrow schoolmaster Frank Marshall. Their daughter Catherine Marshall was the same age as Charles Edward Colbeck and became a prominent suffragist and a peace campaigner in WW1. My grandparents first house in Aldeburgh was The Red House which they sold to the artist Mary Potter. It then became the home of her friends, Benjamin Britten and Peter Pears. As mayor, C.E.C assisted Britten to found the Aldeburgh Festival.
