‘The Scudamores of Kentchurch and Holme Lacy’ tells the story of two branches of the prominent and important Herefordshire family – the senior branch originating in the eleventh century and still living at Kentchurch in the Monnow Valley, and the younger branch from the fourteenth century based at Holme Lacy until the early twentieth century. A wealth of interesting characters emerge, people of fame, fortune and failure, some strong and flamboyant, others quiet and reflective – and with them their stories.
