In 1661 he was degraded and sentenced to life imprisonment, the loss of his estate, and to be carried each 27th of January on a sledge with a rope about his neck from the tower to Tyburn. And William Monson, the local MP, died in Fleet Prison and was buried at St Bride's Fleet Street on the 29th of February 1672. So we've gone all the way back over several decades, haven't we?

A couple of hundred years of kind of potted history there. as far as our local MPs and representatives go, and you can tell that some names just keep appearing over years and years and years. Now, one more snippet before I end. In 1588, one of Reigate's MPs, do you know their name?

You do know their name because the MP, the representative of this area in 1588, went by the fantastic name of Julius Caesar. Obviously not that one, but another one. And that is our summary of stories and scandals of some of our representatives of Reigate and Redhill.

And I should finish off by saying our thanks indeed to the website of Parkrun Rygate, where much of that information came from, at least to start off with. And if you want to read more about what they've put up there, I know it's surprising, isn't it, that that kind of information is on the Parkrun Rygate website. But it is, and you can read up more of it yourself.

Yeah, and I always say, don't I, that please let us know in advance. Well in advance. A couple of weeks in advance, at least, if you would like something mentioned on the Planet Rygate podcast and our Good Time Guide. And the reason behind that is that sometimes I like to take a break. And this is, after all, the 43rd week in a row that I have produced the Planet Rygate podcast.

Ros is going to be talking about Lady Henry Somerset and her farm colony for inebriate women. So, this is a really intriguing story. We must look a little bit more into this, in fact. Following an unhappy marriage to Lord Henry Somerset, Isabel found herself shunned by much of high society in which she had been born. But this gave her a unique empathy and
