10 Park Town, formerly Clevedon House, was the home of Sarah Angelina Acland (1849-1930) from 1901 to her death. She was a photographer, producing famous portrait studies, and in particular a pioneer of colour photography. She was the daughter of Sir Henry Wentworth Dyke Acland (1815-1900), the Regius Professor of Medicine, and was part of the intellectual circles of Oxford at this time: the Acland children were friends with the Liddell sisters and, like them, were photographed by Lewis Carroll, whilst John Ruskin boarded with the Aclands whilst a student in Oxford and remained a friend all his life (and the subject of one of Sarah Acland's most famous images). More detail about Sarah can be found at http://www.oxfordshireblueplaques.org.uk/plaques/acland.html and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Angelina_Acland ; information about Henry Wentworth Dyke Acland is at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Acland.
