played by Violet Gordon Woodhouse
From a manor house in the West Country
Violet Gordon Woodhouse will be broadcasting from her beautiful home somewhere in England. A fine old Adam house; exquisitely formal, with wrought iron gates to the drive, situated on the hills commanding the loveliest view. And in the house, all over the place, are harpsichords, clavichords, and virginals, just as if the Dolmetsch family had been down there, as in fact they have, for they made many of them. Mrs. Gordon Woodhouse is the first to patronise the present-day craftsmen of an old tradition. There is only one thing to spoil it all. C'est la guerre The bowling green in her superb garden has been ploughed up to grow potatoes.
