109 years ago this week there was a huge fire at St Mary's Church in Wargrave. Here’s an excerpt from the Wokingham Fire Brigade Diaries from June the 1st, 1914:
"Called at 3.40am to a fire at Wargrave Church, some 2 hours after the fire was started. The Henley & Wargrave Brigades were in attendance. Roof and belfry destroyed. Also bells, clock & all interior masonry, timber fittings & windows – quite gutted"
In this episode of the RG10 Podcast we delve into the life of the person who many believe was responsible for the blaze.
She was a militant suffragette called Lillian Lenton, who also attacked the tea pavilion at Kew Gardens, was jailed, became seriously ill after going on hunger strike, and then escaped. This led to her becoming known to the police as a 'tiny, wily elusive pimpernel' due to her skill at evading capture.
So did she visit Wargrave whilst on the run?
Find out in this week's episode.
