There are colourful personalities, such as Joseph Gales, a brilliant newspaper editor who fled fo Maerica; Mary Anne Rawson, an impassioned anti-slavery campaigner; John Arthur Roebuck, a radical MP who brought down the government; Edward Carpenter, a socialist prophet and gay pioneer; Father Ommanney, whose ritualism outraged Protestants, J.T. Murphy, who fraternised with Lenin and Staline; and Ethel Haythornthwaite, who fough to save the countryside.
