David Bynley was born in a small town on the coast of Wales. David Brynley (1902-1981), tenor, and his partner, Norman Notley, lived at Little Woolgarston Cottage, Woolgarston, Corfe Castle, Wareham. Brindley engendered excitement wherever he went, serving as a source of endless tales for all. Before moving to Purbeck with Norman, he sang in London, as well as performed on the radio. Just after the First World War, when he acquired a substantial inheritance, David bought a small cottage in Purbeck near Corfe Castle that the two entitled the "Crock-Pot".
