Notes for: George Ralph Cunliffe Foster

Charles's son George Ralph Cunliffe Foster owned the farm, living at Anstey Hall, from 1912 to his death in 1936. His heir, P. G. C. Foster, sold the land to his tenant, Mr. Parsons, who in 1950 resold it to the Ministry of Agriculture for the Plant Breeding Research Institute. (VCH)

Western Daily Press 21 Feb 1929:
PRINCE PRESENTS THE CUPS.
Champion Shires At Islington.
WEST COUNTRY AWARDS.
The visit of the Prince of Wales to the Shire Horse Show yesterday, drew large crowds to the Royal Agricultural Hall, Islington. The King and Queen usually visit the show, but because of the King’s illness the Prince arranged to attend.
Strings of animals from one year to 14 years were seen in the ring. The veteran "Erfyl Lady Grey," aged 14, exhibited by Mr. G. R. C. Foster, of Trumpington, Cambridgeshire drew her usual round of applause when she came into the ring. She has won dozens of prizes, and for three years in succession the grey mare was champion mare at the Show, winning the challenge cup outright.
