Wow! I should really have visited when I was down in that neck of the woods. Didn't even get to Kelston - I'll definitely find a way there next time I'm over in the West country.

He did, yeah. And earnt an appearance on South Park for his troubles: www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2B-.... I'm sure he'd have loved it. For E1's visit to Kelston in '92 he also engineered a massive fountain you could dine beneath! Quite the chap.

I was trying (and failed) to dig up some Catholic connections in Harington's dealings. What draws you to St Catherine's court?

Hi Philippa - yes! He inherited from his father (also John) in the late 1580s. Oddly, I was just in the Somerset Heritage Centre looking at the deeds for the property. JH leased it (and the surrounding lands) to John Blanchard in '91, then sold it to William Blanchard in '94.

Love the Marvell Universe.

Hahahahaha, thanks Beth.

Loved yours too Sierra. I'm defs going to dig into your Fleet Street idea.
