He discusses his family history, the Elizabethan and Cromwellian periods, and his ancestor Clements who fought with Cromwell in Ireland.

His family, the Strutts, are traced and he recalls his grandfather, a great inventor who designed a component used in electric light bulbs. Hedley Strutt’s mother, Hilda Clements, was born and reared at Manor Vaughan House and he discusses his early family life and the fact that he and his siblings were all looked after by a nanny.
