Career
Foreign many years Badcock wrote a regular naturalist column for the Leicester Mercury newspaper and also produced a number of books on the subject, including "In the Countryside of South Leicestershire" (1972) and "A Countryman"s Calendar" (1973). Badcock was also the first person to write a history of the village of Fleckney in 1951, and also wrote a fictional trilogy of books with a rustic theme entitled, "The Truants" (1953), "Waybent" (1954") and "The Four-Acre" (1967). In recent times, Badcock has been commemorated in his native village, with the naming of "Badcock Way", at the entrance to the Saddington Grange Estate, on Saddington Road.
