Calling all Cobbolds - Anthony Cobbold's Memoir is published. "What a perfect memoir it is! A beautifully easy read, well written, humorous, touching, a splendid self-assessment and considered interpretation of an intriguing and full life" @HenryCobboldKH https://t.co/zrbemJDNYY
Recalling how the curators placed a snippet from the poem ‘Matlock, Or the Metamorphosis of Darwent’ by Elizabeth Cobbold (1765-1824) above a painting by Arthur James Stark (1831-1902) Farmyard Scene, oil on canvas 1875.

A very happy gathering of Cobbolds today in Henley-on-Thames to celebrate the 90th Birthday of The Cobbold Family History Trust's founder Anthony Cobbold - Happy Birthday Anthony! 🎂🥂
@Cobboldfht@HenryCobboldKH I just finished reading this book. It was a delight. Having met Anthony on several occasions on visits to England, I can truly say his book radiates his warm personality through and through.
