Information

This Victorian villa was the scene of a murder on 11 February 1930. The well-respected metalworker Arthur Thomas Munn poisoned his second wife, Lily May Weatherby, shortly after she made a will leaving him everything, including the house. Lily’s death aroused the suspicions of the young Dr Reginald Dudding, who later became a medical legend in the district, leading to Munn's arrest and execution several months later.

Turn around and continue south down Richmond Avenue. No. 21 is the site of Thomas Bartley’s 1850s house.
