Summary
An extraordinary saga of upper-class English life at the brink of the First World War.
Hancox is the Tudor hall house in rural Sussex where Charlotte Moore grew up, and where she lives today. It’s been in the family since her ancestor Milicent Ludlow, young, single and an orphan, took it on in 1891 and began to enlarge the house and manage the farm. Hancox tells the story of the house and the family over the following thirty years, in the long run-up to the First World War.
