My Orford

My father, Charles Underwood M.B.E. spent many enjoyable hours in the eve of his lifetime researching and writing about Orford, Orford Ness and his life there.

"The Great Light", which was his first book, published by segment publications, was an authoritive history of Orford Ness and it's lighthouses. It can be purchased from the Craft Shop in Orford and other local outlets.

He wrote an Addendum to "The Great Light" which contains two chapters, Beachcombing and Shipwrecks on Orford Ness, that did not get published in hard copy.

His second book, "My Orford" was never completed before his death in 1997, but still provides an interesting insight into village life in Orford and his personal experiences during his lifetime from 1924 to 1997.

As for me, I am the youngest of his six son's and I have published the Addendum and his second book, "My Orford", online as a fitting tribute to the man I am proud to call Dad. To me and my five brothers he was, and always will be, our guiding light.
