Tom Mitford : 1909-1945 : the perfect son and brother

Tom Mitford, featured on the extreme left in the above photograph – with Winston Churchill, Lord Birkenhead and Clemmie ( Churchill’s wife) was the handsome brother of the infamous six Mitford girls Nancy, Pam, Diana, Unity, Jessica and Deborah.

Featured here little Tom ( Thomas David Freeman-Mitford) with sisters Nancy, Pam and Diana and their parents David and Sydney ( Bowles ) Freeman-Mitford, in the years before the Great War.The photograph is almost certainly taken at Batsford, the home of Tom's paternal grandparents Lord and Lady Redesdale

Tom Mitford’s story is often swept aside by the headline antics and indulgences of his notorious siblings and their odd ball parents. Yet Tom’s story is as fascinating and compelling as all of them put together.

Tom is featured here with his 'special sister' Diana Mitford.

Society Author William Cross, FSA Scot has made a close study of Tom Mitford’s life,loves, career and the relationship with his well known sisters and parents. The story and illustrated talk will shock and amuse : this is also a detailed insight into a topsy-turvy, dysfunctional family, perhaps Britain’s first soap opera. Tom’s family memorial at St Mary’s church, Swinbrook records him as being a “very perfect son and brother”. But was he? Contact William Cross for details. williecross@aol.com
