The frontage of the CRX, still looking impressive, despite
its battered appearance. And considering its wartime construction, where
it was probably thrown up very cheaply, it both looks fairly good and has lasted well.
The huge hole in the roof was once occupied by an impressive stone crest; either that of the
Canadian Red Cross (unlikely as that would probably just be a … erm… red cross) or the coat
of arms of the Astors.
Whatever it was, it was quickly ripped out once The National Trust gained
the site. Which was fair enough – it’s theirs anyway. I wouldn’t mind betting that
it’s currently in storage at Cliveden House with all the other interesting bits of
stonework they keep under the building.
