这个庄园名字叫彭罗斯庄园,占地1536英亩,罗杰斯家族世世代代在这里居住。


In 1771 the Rogers bought it from the Penrose family for £11,000 and were nicknamed The Squire Rogers.


1771年,罗杰斯家族以11000英镑的价格从彭罗斯家族手中买下了这个庄园,取名罗杰斯广场。


It was used as a base by British and US forced during World War Two.

乔丹说,他第一次怀疑查尔斯是自己亲爹是他八岁的时候。


但是要证明自己有个有钱的贵族亲爹,并不顺利。

He said: "He offered to do a DNA test when I was younger but it didn’t happen and then when I was 18 I knocked on his door and asked if I could have the test and he told me to do it through the solicitors. I was 18 so had other priorities at the time."


他说:“他提出过要和我做亲子鉴定,但是始终没有做。在我18岁的时候,我敲了他的门,问他是否可以做亲子鉴定。他告诉我需要找个律师。但是18岁的我还忙着别的事情。”


“I wrote more letters in my twenties but never got a reply, then three years ago I got in contact with power of attorney Philip Care. Philip said Charles didn’t want to do the test so I wrote one final letter with a DNA test kit enclosed and that was when Philip rang and told me Charles was dead.”


“二十几岁的时候我写了更多的信给他,但是从来没有得到答复。三年前我通过律师Philip Care联系上他,但是Philip说查尔斯不想做亲子鉴定。所以我给查尔斯写了最后一封信,附上了 DNA测试工具包,也就是那个时候,Philip打电话告诉我查尔斯已经过世了。”

之后,乔丹虽然遭到了一些查尔斯家庭成员的阻挠,但是他最终完成了亲子鉴定,并且确认是查尔斯的儿子



自从搬进这个奢华的庄园以来,乔丹已经迫不及待地想要挖掘这栋房子和他的家族历史,试图了解导致他父亲吸毒成瘾的原因。


“There was always a pressure of him trying to match expectation,” he said. “His brother was a RAF pilot and his dad a lieutenant commander in the Royal Navy so he had big shoes to fill. He was under huge pressure taking it on, but he was different and a free spirit.


“他(父亲查尔斯)要满足很多外界的期望,要承受很大压力,”他说。“他的兄弟是英国皇家空军的飞行员,他的父亲是皇家海军少校,所以他被寄予厚望,也承受着巨大的压力。但他有点与众不同,又向往自由精神。”


对于未来,乔丹打算建立一个慈善机构回馈社区。

“I’ve been at the point of worrying about the next bill and have had a tough start in life but now I’m here I want to help people. I’m not going to forget where I’ve come from.”


“我原本在担心没有钱交账单,正准备迎接生活艰难的挑战。但是现在,一切都不一样了。我想帮助别人,我不会忘记自己的出身。”
