A portrait of William Pendrill set in an oak. Pendrill was one of five brothers: George; Richard; Humphrey; John and William who helped Charles II escape from England after his defeat at the Battle of Worcester in 1651 during his failed attempt to regain control of England from Cromwell. The Pendrills were a Royalist family who lived and worked on the estate of Boscobel House where the King sought refuge after his defeat. Having been forced to hide in an oak tree in order to escape Cromwell's troops Charles and the Royalist Colonel Carlos finally managed to escape disguised as land workers and escorted by the Pendrills. The Pendrill brothers were richly rewarded when Charles II was restored to the throne in 1660.
