(Born 1935) Interviewed October 2021.

Sholto and his wife, Elspeth, have lived in Danbury, Woodham Mortimer and now Maldon; always in old historic houses. He has been fund-raising for the Poppy Appeal and Farleigh Hospice for very many years. A relative of his from over 150 years ago was responsible for the creation of the Victoria Cross. Sholto talks about Maldon’s only Victoria Cross recipient, Fred Corbett, and his story.
