More about this scene

This was originally a manor house. The fortification of Farleigh Montfort was begun around 1370 by Sir Thomas de Hungerford before he had been granted a licence to crenellate, though he was granted a pardon in 1383. His son, Sir Walter, served as Treasurer of England to Henry V, and he extended the castle in the 1420s, adding among other things the east gate, seen here covered with ivy. The gate originally had a drawbridge. In 1426 Sir Walter was created Lord Hungerford, and the castle's name was changed to Farleigh Hungerford.

I don't remember the name of the family, however, I believe that the daughter's name may have been Susan. They may have had another child, but I am not sure. I recall that the father operated a daily ...see more

Genealogy & Research Images

Despite over 20 years’ work on the archive, these scans have still not been individually checked and may prove to be damaged, faded, or not of sufficient quality to ever be offered in our full product range. However, if you would particularly like to buy one of these please get in touch quoting the Frith negative number,(s) the town name and size of print you would like to buy. On receipt of your enquiry our archivist will check the scan and advise you if the quality is good enough.

What is an Album?

An album is a way to save a selection of Frith photos, maps and memories that are of interest to you.

Creating an Album enables you to make short lists and then make a final selection from the album. In particular it makes ordering things like calendars much easier - simply create an Album of the 12 photos you like and then use the Album when placng your order - our order process will give you this option.

You can create as many Albums as you want, so perhaps make one for your hometown, where you live now, where your parents live now etc.
