He was just 9 years old and was sent with his siblings, Elbert, Molly and Queeny. The children were brought to Quendon Hall with 12 other children along with the headmaster from his school in London – Mr Swindle.

John and his siblings remained at Quendon for a total of 2 years and have very fond memories of their time there.
