Uncle George is one of Bess’s relatives. He is very interested in family history and the stories of the past. He takes the family to Longbridge Manor, where the meeting of the Raleigh family happens. He is proud to be connected to the famous explorer. Without Uncle George, Bess would never have gone to the manor and never have met Walter. He is not a main character in every scene, but he is important because he makes the story possible.
