== Early life ==
Charles Rycroft was the younger son of Yorkshire textile manufacturer and merchant George Henry Rycroft (d: 1950), and grew up in Pudsey between Leeds and Bradford. He had an elder brother Frederick (Fred), and an elder sister Alice Kathleen. After schooling at Giggleswick School to the age of 14, Charles was apprenticed as a plumber. He completed his apprenticeship and went on to work in the family woolen mill business during the 1920s. He spent some time in Belgium at the associate company that worked with the woolen mill. In 1921 the family also acquired the Villa Walburg in the town of Epstein outside Frankfurt in Germany, at which they spent their annual summer holiday until its sale in 1933. Around 1919 George Henry Rycroft, in partnership with a Mr Hartley, purchased a rubber plantation in British Malaya at Perak to the south south east of Penang. The plantation was named Harcroft, this being a combination of Hartley and Rycroft. The eldest son Frederick Rycroft (b: 1894 - d: 1984) was despatched to run the new business, but was recalled in 1922 after a business strategy disagreement with his father. After about two years with a manager running the estate, who was finally sacked, Charles was despatched to Malaya around 1924 to turn round the problems that had caused.
