Notes for Richard (’Dick’) Alfred Edward Townley Woodman
R P P-L: "Dick Woodman is my god-papa, has had a number of compositions published. V. keen on china & pictures, etc."
In the 1911 census he was a student aged 22.
He had a large flat in London which I remember visiting when Hugo and Bettine lived there, after his death. He had a few properties and a load of paintings and antiques that Hugo also inherited. Both my parents thought he was gay with the continual succession of ballet dancers to be found in his flat.
