This report seeks to answer a fundamental question: “Where did the Blencowe family originate, and how did it spread across the centuries?”
We have many brave and distinguished Blencowe ancestors who served, but for his compassion and forgiveness of his captors Clyde Herbert Blencowe would rank right up there, amongst our most natable Blencowes.

Despite this after the war he forgave his captors and lived an exemplary life.
