Hampton Wick Medieval Tudor

 The home of Doctor Graham Sutton and Mrs. Beryl Sutton designed by architect Eric P. Trewern to the thoughts and ideas of Mrs. Sutton was called Hampton Wick. Mrs. Sutton grew up close to Hampton Court in England the former home of King Henry VIII. When she had the opportunity to have her new home built it was always going to be on those very English lines. Hampton Wick was built in 1931 and today it still has great street presence and a credit to the owners who obviously take great pride in the presentation of their home.

The Suttons did not occupy the house for very long as their son Kenneth Graham Sutton moved in some time before 1937. Dr. and Mrs Suttom spent their remaining years in Flat 2 of Whatmore Flats, Henry Street. Whatmore Flats was another of the names that the well known home Nyrambla was known as in its long and distinguished history. Mrs. Sutton died in 1953 and Doctor Sutton in 1955. Like manyof that time today we would say they died young. She was 59 and he was 65 years of age. Doctor Sutton did leave a legacy of personal input into the development of the Queensland medical system but their real leagcy one could say is Hampton Wick.

FOR THE HOME CIRCLE

Medieval in Modern Setting.

BEYOND THE LITTLE BROWN GATE OF HAMPTON WICK.

Dr. Gràham Sutton's Home

So essentially Tudor is Hampton Wick, Ascot Street, Ascot, the home of Dr. and Mrs, Graham Sutton, that one feels it must be owned by somebody who has an intimate knowledge of Tudor times and a love for old historic things; and such is the case, for Mrs. Sutton is well versed in history, having grown up within a mile of Hampton Court Palace (England), which is one of the finest extant specimens of the Tudor style of architecture, and has walks supposed to be haunted by the ghost of Anne Boleyn.

And Hollyhocks All In a Row.

Its typically Tudor chimney and recessed arch to the front door are outstanding features of Hampton Wick.

Where Log Fires Blaze in Winter.

Let into the window of the lounge is a replica of the Southgate coat-of-arms, an appropriate finishing touch to a Tudor room.

Hampton Wick, which was built last year, has one outstanding feature that at once distinguishes it from many of Brisbane's other modern homes-the tall trees in its grounds have been allowed to stand, and they provide an appropriate setting for the home with its roughcast walls, red-tiled roof and typically Tudor chimney. The little lattice fence in front of the garden is of dark brown wood, and has a low gate of silky oak, shaded by two big trees whose branches meet over the gravel drive. From this drive a crazy pathway leads to the main entrance door, which has to be seen to be properly appreciated. It is of heavy oak, and belongs to the days of feuds and civil wars, when no lackey dared open a door without first ascertaining whether friend or foe stood without, and so it has a tiny peep-hole, not much bigger than a postage stamp. The knocker is a heavy iron ring; the long hinges, too, are of iron, and, altogether one feels thut one is knocking at the door of a mediaeval castle, and not of a modern Brisbane home.

MEDICAL SERVICE FOR THE STATE

Doctor Reviews Essential Points

The provision of a general medical service for the State was referred to in the report of an address to the annual meeting of the Queensland branch of the British Medical Association, by Dr. M. Graham Sutton, published in the current issue of 'The Medical Journal of Australia.' The trend of events during the last few months, said Dr. Graham Sutton, had led to the establishment by executive minute of something in the nature of a Ministry of Health, with the object of promoting an ordered direction of medical services in the State. Just what form that coordinated service would take, and how revolutionary it might be, would not be fully known until by-laws were drawn up under the Health Act, when it had been- thrashed out In Parliament. On these depended the character that the practice of medicine might assume, and the relation that present-day practice might bear to social programmes affecting medical services for the people. 

A SERVICE FEE 

All were agreed that no scheme which would deteriorate the quality of medical service or deter the best class of medical practitioner from practising in the State would be acceptable, but if due regard were to be paid to the future of medicine in Queensland, and a capitation fee basis loomed up, it would perhaps be wise to consider the supplementation of that payment with an effective, though small, service fee, as a safeguard against abuse and frivolous usage of the system.
