Скачать или смотреть Memories of Boscobel in the 1950s

Robert Parry's family farmed the area around White Ladies Priory for 45 years from the 1940s onwards - and he and his family now live at the White Ladies Farm.

Both White Ladies and the nearby Boscobel House became famous as hiding places for the future Charles II as he hid from Parliamentary troops following his shattering defeat at the Battle of Worcester in 1651.

Robert has many memories of visiting Boscobel House when it was still privately owned before passing in the hands of the Ministry of Works and, much later, its sucessor English Heritage.

He vividly recalls the last farmers at Boscobel - the Marsh family - and playing in the Parlour and here, in conversation with Tim Beech, he talks of his memories of being a neighbour and visitor to this historic site.
