With his elder brother, Fred, and a loan of £1,000
from their father, they bought a field near
Hereford and built their first cider mill. Fred
had turned down the job as tutor to the children
of the King of Siam to join Percy… the same job
taken by a woman named Anna who would later be
immortalised in the movie and stage musical ‘The
The King and I’.
Half a mile from the village is a 50-acre Iron Age
settlement dating to 400BC. It is thought to have
been a tribal ‘capital’ which was the forerunner
of modern-day Hereford. It lies within Credenhill
Park Wood, an ancient woodland and Special
Wildlife Site. |
