Cumbria, 1391. The last wolf in England felt desperately alone. He lived in the thorn woods at Humphrey Head & his one friend was a kind girl who gave him bacon & buttery scones. When he was killed & his soul flew over the sea, he howled her name to the dying sun, to the waves

This is ground-breaking research by Gillian Williamson. It shows that 30 years before Ignatius Sancho at least one Black voter participated in an election, and the implication must be that there were others like John London.

November 1736 - report in the press that Mr Duill, who keeps the German coffee house in St James's St, is to be made a page of the backstairs to the Princess of Wales.
The report is only slightly wrong, as Duill was actually made a page of the presence chamber.
