More about this scene
The name of the 16th-century half-timbered Grantley Arms in the centre of the village reflects the former dominance of the family whose seat was at nearby Wonersh Park. The first Baron Grantley was the Speaker of the House of Commons from 1769 to 1782, but his grandson George created a much greater stir when he kidnapped his own children and held them at the family home. His wife Caroline embarked on a bitter struggle to regain them, leading to the enactment of the Custody of Infants Bill in 1839.
