It is rumoured in the family that Brice and his father were part of the team that did the Plastering for the Sandham Memorial Chapel in Burghclere ( now a National Trust Property) when it was built after the Great War.
Brice met Mabel Carter who lived in Dothan Place (off Cheap Street, Newbury) and in 1901 their first child, Bertha Matilda was born out of wedlock.
