Actress and singer Julie Andrews was born at Rodney House maternity home on Rodney Road, Walton-on-Thames on 1st October 1935 as Julia Elizabeth Wells. Julie’s mother Barbara Morris Wells was a piano teacher and her father Ted Wells was a woodwork teacher. During the war her parents separated and Barbara remarried tenor Ted Andrews. She was brought up by her mother and step father at a large house on West Grove in Walton named Great Meuse. The house had a large garden and a small cottage in the garden named Little Meuse. In later years, most of the garden was sold to a housing developer and all that remains to remind us of this large estate is the sign on the entrance to this cottage.
