As was the case with cricketer Reginald Hargreaves (1852 - 1926), born at Oakhill Park.

You corrected the statement that he didn't live there with his wife Alice Liddell, inspiration for Alice in Wonderland, in this thread.

Alice Liddell was Alice in Wonderland

Incidentally I worked in the costume department on the 1985 film Dreamchild, written by Dennis Potter, and starring Coral Browne, which was based on Alice Liddell's life.

Came across this last week.

The scenes I worked on as wardrobe assistant, in the 1985 film Dreamchild. Filmed in St. George's Hall, Liverpool. Which was meant to be Columbia University, and where Alice Liddell was awarded an honorary doctorate.
