A Surfeit of Magnificence

Sir Thomas Swymmer Mostyn-Champneys was born in Frome, Somerset in 1769 the last in a line of aristocrats who claimed origins back to William of Normandy. A series of bad judgements resulted in Thomas being born into a third generation of bankruptcy and despite marrying a very rich widow he was never able to extricate himself from this. Regardless of an ever-decreasing amount of funds he spent lavishly on masquerade balls, pageants and building projects - but most of all on litigation.He became involved in a serious legal dispute over the right to appoint the sexton of the local church, he won the case at great expense and published a long and a surreal poem ridiculing his opponents. A segment of this poem contains a description of some original manuscripts that he believed to have been written by William Shakespeare and describes a night Shakespeare spent in Frome where he was 'tricked by the natives.'The book details numerous and often humorous court cases as well as his imprisonment for debt, extravagant building projects and his time as a popular magistrate At one point he was kidnapped from an inn at knifepoint by bailiffs and thrown into the debtor's prison spending many years imprisoned in London and Ilchester.When not entertaining lavishly he spent much of his time in dispute with local worthies one of whom, a local solicitor, spread rumours about him engaging in homosexual relations which involved a court case for slander which Champneys won - and produced another book as a result.In 1832 he stood in the local election which resulted in three days of rioting and the local militia firing on the crowd. He lost despite being popular with the working people who were not enfranchised. His debts became so large that his mansion, at Orchardleigh was raided by bailiffs on many occasions and the contents sent off to auction until eventually the estate was purchased by a relative and he was allowed to stay there with his wife until his death in 1839.

The history of humans in the Frome area stretches right back to Palaeolithic times and Frome first appears as a settlement as early as the Saxon period. This fascinating book covers the entire period of its growth into an important Somerset market town. From the Stone Age to the Foo Fighters its unique history is told in short, easy to read sections with many of the illustrations being published for the first time. Along with the serious history there are some quirky characters and freaky events, coin hoards, crime and punishment, long lost pubs, a tank, ancient maps, witchcraft, riots and rebellions, a lost head, ancient customs and even a few skeletons and some flying saucers. It is a book to be dipped into at leisure, finding little nuggets that might lead to further research or stimulate new interests.

Even today, over 200 years after the event, controversy and debate continue over the shocking Peterloo massacre in Manchester, resulting in the deaths of 18 innocent people attending a peaceful meeting, with over 600 injured. There have been a few books on the events of that day but this is the first to examine the devastating effect it had on the life of the leading participant Henry Hunt and his time in jail. There are many extracts from the transcript of his trial, his prison diary, and his evidence before the Commons Commission set up to enquire into the controversial events at Ilchester jail, as well as some first-hand accounts of what life was like inside the prison during the 1820s.Much original research has gone into tracing the life of William Bridle, Hunt's sworn enemy, covering his life both before and after his governorship of Ilchester jail. He was dismissed for running a harsh and brutal regime but may just have been the victim of political intrigue beyond his control. His rebirth as the tenant/manager of the magnificent pleasure grounds of Sydney Gardens in Bath is examined in some detail as is his final descent into destitution and despair.Their lives are put into context by a brief history of the radical political movements of the time, the war with France, and Hunt's fractious relationship with William Cobbett and their social interaction, both personal and political.

What other hidden secrets from conflicts established in the days of Horatio Nelson, lie in wait? On the surface the quiet marina at Cross Green appears to be an idyllic, laid back and cushy assignment. But when Byrney is handed an eighteenth century, Caribbean mystery of his own to unravel, he quickly becomes entangled into a shadowy world of thieves, smugglers, pirates and fraudsters. It might be wise not to go poking around shadows especially ones which have laid dormant since the Colonial era.

Since losing their jobs aboard the vintage charter yacht, Liberty Angel two years previous, Bryney and Fionn have been running their own bar at the fringe of Cross Green marina on the south east coast of Antigua. Unbeknown to them, their idyllic lifestyle is about to be threatened by elements from worldwide conflicts blowing in on a tide of political tyranny.When a familiar face from Byrney's past unexpectantly breezes into Bar Amigo's and begins asking questions about one of their guests, a whistle-blowing French photo journalist named Ilena Romero, Byrney and Fionn have to decide which of the two they believe and trust. Miss Romero has recently cut and run from the clutches of the intelligence services with two rolls of film, taken during an arson attack she witnessed on the Spanish Embassy in San Albarra. It soon becomes apparent that this isn't a game to be taken lightly. The stakes at risk for all concerned, could not be greater. Even affecting the outcome of the forthcoming US presidential election.There are several agencies involved in this political thriller as well as powerful and maverick forces secretly working in the shadows. It is no longer a fight pitching good against evil, but for some it is a fight for survival. With just the sleepy backwater Police Station at Charlestown for protection will Byrney and Fionn's young and innocent and na ve approach to life, be enough to see them through.
