War-time Experiences of a Badsey Family - by W H Knight, Esq, JP

William Henry Knight (1850-1940) was born in Badsey, the eldest of 13 children of Samuel Knight.  The Knight family had long been resident in Badsey and William Henry Knight was from the sixth generation to be born in the village. Despite leaving the village as a young man in his late teens, he obviously maintained a strong affection for his childhood home which led him, in old age, to write "War-Time Experiences of a Badsey Family", which was first published in The Evesham Standard.  He later had the booklet printed.
