My late father-in-law used to chauffeur for Frank in the 1930\'s and on a few ocassions collected Hermann Goering, another Big Game hunter, from Wolverhampton railway station to spend a weekend at the Hall - he used to say \"if only I had known\". Frank, and his wife Elizabeth who I knew well, had hunted Big Game all over the world and their collection of trophies, one of the finest in Europe is still displayed in the ancient Tithe Barn next to the Hall.Frank eventually became disillusioned with hunting and turned his hand to drawing and painting the animals, he was a fine artist and his drawings illustrate several Big Game hunting books Little Wyrley Hall remains in the family.\" Roger J.
