Arthur Herbert Savory

Arthur Herbert Savory was an English farmer and author remembered for Grain and Chaff from an English Manor. Records gathered by the Badsey Society describe him as born in Lower Clapton, Middlesex, in 1851, later studying at the Royal Agricultural College, Cirencester.

In 1873 he became tenant of Aldington Manor in Worcestershire, where he farmed for nearly three decades. Local historical material portrays him as an energetic "gentleman farmer" who introduced hop-growing there and became a well-known figure in village life.

After returning to Hampshire, he wrote Grain and Chaff from an English Manor, a book drawn from his years at Aldington and valued for its lively picture of rural English life. The Badsey Society records his death in 1921.
