Sir John succeeded in 1807 his first cousin once removed as 6th Baron Carbery. ‘DEATH OF LORD CARBERY - We regret to have to announce the death of the above-named noble lord, who expired on Monday, the 12th inst., at the family seat, Castle Freke, Ross Carbery, county of Cork, after a severe illness. His lordship, who was in his 80th year, was the sixth peer, and is succeeded in his title and estates by his nephew, George Partick Percy Evans Freke. The noble lord was one of the largest landed proprietors in Ireland, and having constantly resided on his estates in that country, his loss will be deeply lamented by his affable manners, and his constant attention to their wants. His lordship was one of the Irish representative peers, a baronet, and a grand-master of the Freemasons of Munster. The present peer has three brothers, Henry Augustus Evans Freke, a captain in the Grenadier Guards; Fenton John Evans Freke, a captain in the 2d Regiment of Life Guards; William Charles Evans Freke, married to the Lady Sophia Sherwood, youngest sister of the Earl of Harborough; and a sister, married to the Hon. Charles Broderick Bernard, second son of the Earl of Bandon.’ (The Morning Herald, London, 16 May 1845, p.5c)

A wheel from a crashed Beaufighter which came down in April 1944 in Guarlford South of Worcester. The rescue of the pilot featured in the Malvern Gazette on Saturday 27th May 1944. 'Guarlford Farm Workers Gallant Act: When an aircraft crashed on April 22nd at Guarlford, Malvern, and burst into flames, a young farm worker, Charles Richard Williams of Archer's Cottage ... forces his way through the flames, pulled out the pilot, who was severely injured and unconscious, and carried him clear of the wreckage. 'I twas working in a rickyard when I saw the plane overhead, apparently in difficulties. I saw it dive down and heard a crash and then saw a cloud of smoke. I raced as fast as I could across the fields for a quarter-of-a-mile and saw a RAF sergeant, who had a broken collar bone, near the plane. I asked if there was anybody i the plane and he said, 'Yes, the pilot.' I ran to the burning wreckage, crawled underneath, and dragged out the pilot, still attached to the seat. It was very hot as the whole of the machine was on fire and as I left the plane ammunition began to explode. The pilot's face was covered in blood, and I could see he was badly injured. I dragged him clear of the wreckage and then while I went for the ambulance my father .. carried him to a ditch'. Apparently the pilot survived with only a few cuts and bruises. *CR Good condition given the history of the item.
