HH Munro Research Clip

H.H. Munro (Saki) was born in Burma, but lost his mother when he was just 2 years of age. His father, an inspector-general for the then British-controlled Burmese police, sent his three children back to England to be raised by Saki's elderly grandmother and his two strict, straitlaced aunts.

The house they lived in during this period still stands! It's about 9 or 10 blocks, a 40 minute casual walk, from central Barnstable to the rural community of Pilton.

Video of house and vicinity shot on a cheap point and shoot by A.C. Cameron on his recent travels to Devon County, England.
