...view moreStephen Braybrooke-Tucker was born in 1939 in Newbury, Berkshire, to a family with a history of farming, horticulture and the Church. Several members of his family are authors in their own right.
From school he went to an Agricultural College and left with qualifications in Farm Management and Engineering. He then worked for several large country estates, usually supervising the arable work.
He met and married his wife, Jeanette in June 1966 while running a Youth Club in his local Church.
He moved to Hanborough, Oxfordshire, in 1975 with his wife and two children, Alexandra and Caroline, to be a member of the Arable Team at Blenheim Estates, Woodstock. He was based initially at Millwood Farm, Hanborough, Lower Riding farm, North Leigh and manor Farm, Cassington. He later joined the whole Arable Team based at Park Farm, in Blenheim Park.
Retiring early, to support his wife who has Multiple Sclerosis, he then worked as a volunteer with her for Dialability, an Oxford based charity, supporting people with Disabilities. He also helped to organise and run a disability group in Witney hospital and to develop a local Care Group in Hanborough.
With his huge knowledge of farming and country ways, plus his fondness for all things historical, he wrote articles over a four and a half year period on events in Hanborough’s history to insert in the village magazine. Putting them together as ‘Snapshots of Hanborough’ he was told that they would make a very interesting read for other people.view less
