- Francis Fulford (born 1953)
Francis Fulford of Great Fulford (born 1953) lives at Great Fulford Manor, near Dunsford, in Devon and is the head of an ancient landed family. As a family with strong links to the Tories, rather than the Whigs, they remain members of the untitled nobility, a specifically British social class. Fulford has been the subject of several television programmes including "The F***ing Fulfords", "Why England's F***ed", and "Why America Sucks".
His family is one of the oldest families in England and continues to occupy the same manor as was granted to their ancestor by Richard I of England in about 1190. There is evidence to suggest that the Fulford family pre-dated the Norman Conquest and were being confirmed the lands they already owned. The present house dates back to the 16th Century. He is celebrated for his prolific swearing. He is the author of "".
Quotations
*“Crisis point? I wouldn’t call this a crisis point. One of my ancestors was hung, drawn and quartered in 1463. That’s what I call a fucking crisis point.”
*“My father made sure one tap still came from the well, Health and Safety came round — you had the sods even then — and discovered that our water was being filtered through a dead rabbit. We didn’t care. At least it meant we could go to India and not get the shits, eh?”
*On Frankie showing us around his home, Great Fulford Manor, one of my colleagues asked him what had caused the large, weed-overgrown hole in the battlements. "War damage" Frankie replied, typically laconic. "You mean you haven't had it fixed since 1945?" asked my friend, appalled. Frankie stopped and turned in disbelief. "Not THAT war. The fucking Civil War, you cunt!".
