We are delighted to be able to bring you Chapter 10 - "The Boys" from the book by Ralph Mann on Kingham Hill
"Mr Young was shabby as he went about the streets, and for a very good reason: he went about looking for little boys in trouble. Many a poor little guttersnipe whom he found crying on a doorstep has matriculated and become an eminently prosperous citizen. He loved and helped every boy individually. He thought of them for fifty years, and gave up his life to them …
One who knew him declared that ‘he was the most lovable man I have ever known` and described how, though he had three or four cars at his country house, he would insist on the same old growler meeting him when he came to London. He wore an old hat … and promised his wife a thousand times to buy a new one." click here to read the full story.
