Title: | Video Archive: Randolph Trafford’s Lagonda at Michaelchurch Court |
Place name: | Michaelchurch Escley |
Date: | 1931 - 2022 |
Description:
Video Archive clip by Ewyas Lacy Study Group. The author’s description is as follows:
Randolph Trafford, Lord of the Manor of Ewyas Lacy, was the proud owner of a Lagonda 2 litre low chassis tourer motor car registration number GF 8843 , which he acquired in the 1930s. It was photographed at Michaelchurch Court on 12th August 1931, and ninety-one years later the same car was in the ownership of one of his descendants and driven back to the Court to be photographed again. This brief video compilation of the two occasions shows how the building in the background changed over the years while the car survived unscathed.
The wider story of Randolph Trafford’s cars is available elsewhere on the website.
