    WWII ‘Brown Babies’ | A Hidden History

    Historian David Olusoga tells the story of the children born to white British mothers and black American servicemen during the Second World War, dubbed Britain’s ‘Brown Babies’ in the African American press at the time.   Carol and Ann, now in their 80s, revisit their childhood home, Holnicote House in Somerset. During the 1940s, the building was used for the care of around 30 children of black GIs, from birth to the age of five.        Carol and Ann were among some 2000 children born in wartime Britain to black GI fathers and white British mothers. Under many pressures including social prejudice and US legislation banning interracial marriage, around half of these children were placed into care.       David also meets experts Prof Lucy Bland and Dr Chamion Caballero, to reveal this little-known history of the Second World War, and how modern DNA testing is helping families search for lost relatives 80 years later.  You can watch a video of this podcast on National Trust YouTube: ntpodcasts.org/NTP143Video  Production   Host: David Olusoga   Producer: Michelle Douglass  Sound editor: Jesus Gomez  Consultants: Lucy Bland, Professor of Social and Cultural History at Anglia Ruskin University, and Dr Chamion Caballero, Director and Co-Founder of The Mixed Museum Discover more      Find out more about Britain’s ‘Brown Babies’ and hear oral histories, including more from Ann:  https://mixedmuseum.org.uk/brown-babies/   Explore the experiences of WWII black GIs in the UK:   https://mixedmuseum.org.uk/brown-babies/black-gis-in-britain/  Read Britain’s ‘Brown Babies’ by Professor Lucy Bland:   https://www.amazon.co.uk/Britains-%60Brown-Babies-Stories-Children/dp/1526133261  Discover the Holnicote Estate’s diverse countryside, wildlife and walkways, looked after by the National Trust  https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/visit/somerset/countryside-woodland/explore-holnicote-estate   Visit the Holnicote House hotel website:   https://www.hfholidays.co.uk/country-houses/locations/selworthy-exmoor     If you'd like to get in touch with feedback, or have a story connected with the National Trust, you can contact us at podcasts@nationaltrust.org.uk

    Introducing: Step into the Past | The Craftsmen of Calke Abbey

    What if you could follow in the footsteps of your ancestors and reveal the hidden tales behind some of the UK’s fascinating historical locations?   Introducing Step into the Past, a podcast from our sponsors at Findmypast.        In this episode, Professor Suzannah Lipscomb and her guest Sandy travel to the not-so-stately home of Calke Abbey in Derbyshire to discover Sandy’s family’s longstanding connection to the estate and its early Baptist congregation.   Calke Abbey has undergone many transformations in its long history, moving from religious priory to sprawling stately home, and forming the core of the community in all its guises for hundreds of years.   Sandy discovers that her family were skilled workers and faithful retainers, who honed their crafts over generations and were rewarded for their expertise and dedication by their wealthy patrons. Over 200 years, members of the family were embedded in the fabric of this community, enjoying the employment opportunities and patronage offered by Calke Abbey. Sandy also learns of their non-conformist beliefs, at a time when Baptism was on the rise among skilled working classes, and how this threatened the established order.
