In 1962, Anna Wohlin first traveled to Great Britain at the age of 16 and came to Wales as an exchange student . A little later she visited London . She was quickly fascinated by the atmosphere and the music of the swinging sixties and soon fell in love with Brian Jones from the Rolling Stones. Five years later she got to know the musician personally when she appeared as a dancer for the group The Ravens in the Speakeasy Club. The two eventually became a couple. In the spring of 1969, Wohlin moved to Jones' Cotchford Farm in Hartfield , Sussex , which had previously belonged to Alan Alexander Milne , the author of the Winnie the Pooh books . According to Wohlin, Jones felt very comfortable in the country and wanted to stay there until the end of his life. They also wanted to get married and have a family. On June 8, 1969, Mick Jagger , Keith Richards and Charlie Watts appeared at Cotchford Farm and informed Jones that the band had decided to split up with him. Jones accepted and accepted the offer of a one-time severance payment and an annual allowance . According to Wohlin, Jones wanted to leave the group anyway because he no longer agreed with the musical direction of the band. On the evening of July 2, 1969, in addition to Jones and Wohlin, Janet Lawson, the friend of Rolling Stones Road manager Tom Keylock , and the building contractor Frank Thorogood were at Cotchford Farm.
