Henrietta was born on 30 November 1877 in Berkhamsted, the youngest daughter of Thomas and Emily Tompkins [plot 6] who ran a successful butcher’s business in the High Street. On the 18 August 1904, Henrietta Tompkins married Bruce Guy Lindeman. Henrietta was also the niece of Sarah Tompkins (the first wife of Bruce Guy’s father, William Lindeman) [Plot 6].  Their wedding picture was taken in the garden of the Manor House (Pilkington Manor) in Berkhamsted, In the 1901 census the Manor House* (Pilkington Manor) was divided into 110, 112,114 High Street – so three separate dwellings. At 114 lived Emily Tompkins, retired butcher, widow, and an unmarried daughter and servant, so this is where the wedding photograph below was taken - in Henrietta’s mother’s garden. The wedding was reported in the local newspaper at the time and sounded quite a grand affair! Henrietta and Bruce Guy Lindeman had two children: Richard Lindeman, born 17 January 1909 and Barbara Lindeman, born 6 September 1913. The family lived at Westfield on Torrington Road in Berkhamsted. Henrietta died on 10 February 1954 at the age of 77. *Between 1920 and 1949, when Pilkington Manor was listed Grade III (old listing), the country experienced a recession and the Second World War, both of which caused considerable difficulties with the maintenance of large buildings. In 1949 Pilkington Manor was already in a sorry state, the west end shored up whilst the remainder was still lived in. By the late 1950s little remained of the original house after alteration to build a row of shops. Today modern flats, bearing the name Pilkington Manor, incorporate a copy of the doorway.
