   Its nice to know the truth of Enid’s passing. As awful as this sounds it the truth is more respectable than what I was told. Im sure there is more to learn about Enid, she is fasinating.

   Dad always said that Enid had been drinking and fell in the bathroom and hit her head and that is why she had the clot… any truth in that?
   I am getting 2 old photos of Enid framed today to hang on the wall in my 1884 house. She will look fabulous there and will no doubt generate much attention.

   Enid Stamp-Taylor was always enjoyable to watch be it live theatre or film. One wonders if she worked herself to death as she had to leave the cast of IS YOUR HONEYMOON REALLY NECESSARY playing at the Duke of York theatre, London, due to feeling unwell. It had played at the Theatre Royal, Newcastle, 1944 and goodness how many other venues around the country. One wonders if Robin Ann, Enid’s daughter, is still with us?
   Whenever I’m at Whitley Bay, I think of her.

   Hi Norman,
   Lovely thoughts.
   As far as I’m aware; Robin Anne is hopefully still with us.
   Thank you for your most interesting comment.
   Patrick.

   I was under the impression ffrom Dad that she had been drinking vodka and died in the bathroom…Dad had a stroke too.i found him on the floor in his bedroom and he said he had ,had a stroke..he also told me if you have been drinking too much in the evening the blood thins,,then in the morning it has the opposite effect and becomes thick and sticky so drinkers beware and slways have an asprin on hand first thing in the morning or at 2 am if possible….or eat as that also thins the blood…enid and dad were both born on 12th June and both loved writing and drinking and people

   I also wonder if they were both outwardly gregarious but inwardly introverted and insecure,,multifaceted and slighly tortured souls

   hello Patrick, I’m amazed that there should be such interest in this Lady actress. Where do I start?.
   My adopted great Uncle Romilly Lunge had a romantic interlude with her whilst filming “While Parents Sleep”. He was sent to war in navy and the Admiralty allowed him back forr the trial, but for a suicide case??.

   he was always very guarded when we discussed Enid, and very melancholy and he completely gave acting when decommisioned in late ,46. In fact he bought a farm in Warrickshire and became eventually became a recluse. Sold up in ’65 and moved to Ashby de la Touch.

    The newspapers found him @ Hillcrest Farm in Wharten then he sold up & moved to Ashby de la Zouch in the early ‘6o’s and he was never drawn on the subject again. I interviewed him thru mid 70’s and 80’s until he passed away in August ’94.
    He made around 14 films & lots plays and also had romantic relationship with Margareta Scott in around ’32 having played the floodlights together and ski’d many times in Arosa.

    sorry to go on, but this beautiful Lady was always an enigmatic phenomena to me so I’m intrigued with your website and the interest it generated as I have been delving off on for over 30 some years, with pics, some signed and movie clippings from Uncle Rom’s archives.
    Anyway I look forward to some dialog if you are interested
    Cheers, Chris Thank you Chris… Feel free to open dialog at any time!

    I am told that Enid Stamp Taylor went to school for a while at Gainford Co. Durham.
    Can anyone confirm this.There was a phyician in Gainford in the late 1800’s called Stamp and i wondered if there was a connection.
    Cheers

    Hi Michael,
    As far as I know, Enid’s Grandfather was a Surgeon and one of three brothers, however, I have him working at Leeds Infirmary
    and indeed he could have worked in a number of establishments in the North of England.
    Hope this helps,
    Best wishes.

    Hi Patrick, thanks to you and your contributors for all the interesting info. I recall having seen Enid in only one film, The Wicked Lady, but I found her performance mesmerising. She steals every scene she’s in and is utterly beautiful with it! I would like to see her in other films which portray her versatility, could you recommend any I should look out for?

    Thanks for your interest Nicholas,
    ‘Hatter’s Castle’ would be a good recommendation. Enid stars alongside Robert Newton in a somewhat dark tale,
    but it’s well acted with a strong plot and worthy of a watch.
    I would imagine a DVD would be available from Amazon and I believe it is episoded on U tube.
    I hope this will help.
    Thanks once again and let me know if you need any further assistance.
    Patrick.
