Webinar: Orator Hunt and Ilchester Jail: presented by Tom Mayberry

Henry Hunt was renowned as the greatest radical orator of his age. Following the tragic outcome of a mass meeting in St Peter’s Fields, Manchester in 1819, he spent 30 months in Ilchester Gaol. There he wrote his autobiography and agitated for prison reform. This talk, first given to mark the bicentenary of the Peterloo Massacre, explores his turbulent life, political career and strong Somerset links.
