Upon retiring from active military duty in 1945, and returning to England, Cedric took up residence once more at one of the houses on the family estate in Wiltshire. However, the family seat, Tottenham House, was converted into a boys school. In the process of making way for the school, Cedric went into the basement, and found hundreds of boxes full of old family documents. The ensuing research lead to the creation of his third book, The Wardens of Savernake Forest, which was a detailed look at the amazing history of his family, and the unbroken line of succession within the family of the Hereditary Wardens who had overseen Savernake Forest since the days of William the Conqueror. Further family research lead to the publication of Cedric's fifth book, The Life and Loyalties of Thomas Bruce.
