Day Twelve

John Leslie Fitzmaurice Creighton photographed with his elder sister Molly in 1903 at the Vicarage in Kings Somborne, in the Diocese of Winchester.

In his memoirs he wrote  "Although my father (John Henry David Creighton) officially received only a Vicar's small stipend we managed in those days  to maintain a surprisingly substantial household and staff."

These household costs were apparently met by the fourth Earl of Erne.  Why?
