Jack (John) was born 14th October 1914 and died 19th December 2001. He was born at the White House, Eastnor, the eldest son of John and Lucy (nee Weston, daughter of Henry Weston, founder of Weston's Cider).

He followed his father into farming and farmed at Priors Court, Staplow in partnership with Tom Gallimore.

On his retirement he moved into Ledbury. A very keen gardener he created a wonderful garden at Priors Court and his love of flowers and nature was life long.

He researched and recorded the Parry family tree back to 1745, which entailed years of research - prior to the Internet!
