Blagrave Founder

Herbert and Peter Blagrave were the founders of the Trust and resided in the counties where we work. Herbert Blagrave was a great sporting man. He was well known in horse racing circles training 350 winners in a 50 year career; was the Director of Southampton football club when they won the FA Cup in 1976 and played cricket for Gloucestershire. There are no surviving Blagrave family members.
