    What a wonderful way to use the talents of Kathy Hipperson, AKA Mrs. Crocombe. It would be interesting to know the name of the Charles the II, actor also. I have become a fan of all things English Heritage. Most especially, Audley End House, Mrs. Crocombe, she started me on this folklore series, when I recognized her in a different time and space. What a wonderful series, please keep up the excellent work.

    This is very interesting. I don't know if there is a connection but in the backyard of the house I grew up in (built in 1695) in Massachusetts, we had a huge and very old oak tree and my grandmother called it Charles's oak because supposedly someone had obtained an acorn from a tree that someone named Charles had hid in once and planted it there. One of my ancestors supposedly but I don't know which one. The tree is estimated to be around 300 years old which sounds about right but until now I never knew who that Charles was and now I wonder if my grandmother meant King Charles. The ancestor who built the house had an Irish name but as far as I knew all my ancestors on that side of the family were English.
