In the possession of the vendor's father at Bradninch Manor from at least 1918-21 to his death in 1925 and then in the possession of the vendor and his mother there until 1949 when the panel and its companion were removed. See letter of 16th September, 1983. They may have been in the vendor's father's possession since 1914.
