Nice link to my Dylan Thomas studies too, as James ended his life living in the Mumbles in Swansea.
Many thanks to Councillor Jerry Williams, who put me onto a book which led to another, which… well, you get the idea, but I now have a photo of James Spence and have also found lots of useful info. Including the fresco painted, glass roofed ‘Pompeiian Room’ in number ten Abercromby Square, and the fact he was only five foot five tall. More relevantly some great hints as to why he may have linked up with Prioleau, as his wife was American from a Hugenot family too. James was also clearly a charmer, having told his son that the two most beautiful women he’d ever seen were Mrs Prioleau and his sister-in-law Sophia. I’m guessing his wife may have been less than impressed by that!
