Ralph Mann's Chapter 11 released

We are delighted to be able to bring you Chapter 11 - "MP for Christchurch" from the book by Ralph Mann on Kingham Hill

Founder tn The Years Page"We do not know what factors induced C. E. B. Young to stand for Parliament in 1885. It was, of course, customary for wealthy gentlemen, especially for those with a training in law, to think of a political career, but there is something a little incongruous about the shy, retiring squire of Daylesford taking his seat in the House of Commons and allowing himself to be caught up in the seedy machinations of party politics. Perhaps the decision was imposed on him by the Conservative Party who were looking for suitable candidates with enough money to afford to contest what were no doubt regarded as safe Liberal seats."
