This month (August 2022), Col Andy Taylor and Rev Paul Roberts take a walk in the sun around Canon Frome Court and St Laurence's Church, Stretton Grandison in search of the Hopton family.

Learn about General Sir Edward Hopton whose medals the Herefordshire Regimental Museum recently reunited, and his crack shot, cello playing Olympian nephew in law, Lieut Colonel John Hopton who inherited the estate. A visit to St Laurence's Church also reveals the original grave marker to Captain Guy William Hopton who was killed in action with the Royal Berkshire Regiment in 1915.

The walk in the sun finishes at the nearby Trumpet Inn, where more is revealed about military history of this pub and why the Lincolnshire Poacher is the Regimental Quick March of the Herefordshire Regiment.
