Ellen Terry – August/September ‘97 British Heritage FeatureBritish Heritage | 3 comments | Print This Post | Email This Post Edy transformed the large barn into a theatre and persuaded actors such as John Gielgud, Edith Evans, and Peggy Ashcroft to perform on the anniversary of Ellen’s birth. She continued in her tireless efforts until 1939, when, impoverished and battling to keep the house open, she turned Smallhythe Place over to The National Trust. Since that time The Trust has continued in Edy’s tradition of honouring her mother’s memory. The Elizabethan barn still stages productions by the Barn Theatre Society. Subscribe Today
Ellen’s love of Smallhythe Place was understandably strong. “This is my own house, bought with my own money,” she once said proudly. It still is a beautiful house, grown even more attractive by virtue of the memories it now holds. Pages: 1 2 3Help HistoryNet by bookmarking to

I am writing an article regarding the life of Ellen Terry and my query is relevant as I am descended from one of her unmentioned
brothers.
Does anyone know the names of her four brothers who never went on the stage? I assume they were all boys but I may be wrong.
I think that Francis Terry (who may have emigrated to Australia was an ancestor of mine.
Thanks for any information.

Straight from Ellen Terry’s autobiography, The Story of My Life, her siblings were Kate, Ben, George, Marion, Florence, Charles, Tom, and Fred. Two others did not survive past infancy.

If she and Watts had stayed together until death did they part, no one today would be talking about her age when they first married.
