A connection to the Raynham Tree has been made with a Michael Raynham and his family. Michael lives and works in Astoria, Oregon, USA where he is an artist; Michael was born in England during World War 2 and left in the 1960s.

 

The link to the Tree is via Michael?s great grandparents John Andrew (R392) and Priscilla Raynham nee Grimwood of Bradfield St George, Suffolk, England. John had been born at Bradfield in 1841 and was a carpenter and possibly working from the workshop behind Stone House in the village.

 

Michael seems to have followed the same tradition with his own studio at his home, a visit to his website at http://www.raynhamgallery.com/biography.htm is recommended, and here you can see his beautiful sculptures.
