Her father Sir Osbert Brackett had left her the family home in Stackton Tressel which she now shared with her friend and accompanist Dr Evadne Hinge, who came from a somewhat eccentric Scottish family. Dame Hilda had received her honour for services to opera and bringing music to the masses. Dr Evadne back history included at some time being part of the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company. It is not surprising therefore that Gilbert and Sullivan featured heavily in their work. They did however appear in a number of pantomimes and other shows in their sartorial best, as well as often touring the provincial theatres with their two woman show.
In An Evening with Hinge and Bracket 1977-Dame Hilda and Dr Evadne say that they bought the house-found it while visiting Dame Hilda's mother ona production with the playgroup of Ruddigore.
Dame Hilda's father didnt leave the house to them.
