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.
In one sense it's a rural idyll: the arrival of the car disturbs
this peaceful agrarian world, but apart from that the rhythms of
the countryside go on as they had for centuries before. But all was
not quite as it seemed: Milicent made a distinguished marriage but
her husband harboured a secret. Milicent herself gradually
succumbed to religious fanaticism. And the death of the youngest
boy at Ypres devastated the family, bringing the idyll to a painful
end. Using extraordinary archive material held at Hancox today,
Charlotte Moore weaves an Edwardian tale of madness and jealousy,
love and loss, heroism and tragedy.
