Romilly Lunge (1904–1994) was a British film actor. He made a total of 15 films and appeared in many stage plays between 1933 and 1940. He died in August 1994 in Leicestershire, England.
Biography
Lunge was born 4 October 1904 in London, England.
During World War II he served as an officer in the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve and commanded a Fisheries Protection Vessel (ie an armed trawler, which were not the best equipped vessels to protect our vital fishing fleets against attack by U-Boats or enemy surface warships!)
Following the declaration of peace and on discharge from naval duties he bought two adjacent farms in the village of Warton, near Atherstone, North Warwickshire and made his living as a mixed arable and dairy farmer. It was not until one of his films was shown on TV that the village became aware of his previous life.
I recall working for him after completing a course at Agricultural College and living in at Hill Crest Farm when he still had his cigarettes made for him with an initial 'L' on each one and ran a Rolls Royce 20/25 and Jaguar XK140 along with an MG TF. From this kind man I learned to appreciate classical music and to enjoy a lifelong pleasure in cooking. He even loaned me his weathered naval cap when I helped run a local Sea Scout troop based on the Coventry Canal He later retired to the pleasant market town of Ashby de la Zouch in Leicestershire.
