In this image three members of the Australian women's tennis team stand with their host in England, Major D.C. Sloan-Stanley.

The scenic estate, called The Paultons, was built in the 14th Century and had been in the Sloan-Stanley family since that time. Its custodians, the Major and his wife Lady Cairns, generously hosted the Australian women while they were in England to compete. Although they were representing their country, funds for female athletes were very limited and would not have extended to hotel accommodation.  

Other guests staying at the same time would have been interesting for the team. There was Helen Jacobs, a champion American tennis player who was then at the height of her career. There was Mr and Mrs L. Godfree, who were then the only married couple to have won Wimbledon as a doubles team. And the Australian girls were driven to and from their tournaments by Colonel Bowes-Lyon, an uncle of Queen Victoria.
