CLOVELLY

Designed in 1912 by Baker and Fleming for Charles
Eugene Nixon, an advocate from the Cape, who had
come to Johannesburg in 1895, but moved to Bulawayo
where he answered Baden Powell’s call to join the
Bechuanaland (now Botswana) Protectorate Frontier
Force. He survived the Siege of Mafeking
and served as press censor to the
prisoner of war camps in India
and Bermuda.
