George Grey (14 Jul 1866-3 Feb 1911) and Charles
Grey (23 Aug 1873-28 Sep 1928), |
|
|
|
brothers of Sir Edward Grey, 3rd baronet and 1st
and only Viscount Grey of Fallodon |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Two of Viscount Grey's brothers died as a result
of being attacked by wild animals in East |
|
|
|
Africa. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In 1911, George Grey, while on a visit to East
Africa, went stalking lions which had been raiding |
|
|
|
a camp near the homestead belonging to Sir
Alfred Pease [2nd baronet] near the Athi River |
|
|
|
[near Nairobi in Kenya] when he was attacked by
a lion, which inflicted severe lacerations upon |
|
|
|
him.
One report states that "one of the beasts caught and mangled him as a
cat does a |
|
|
|
|
mouse." He was rescued with difficulty and,
although it was at first thought that he would |
|
|
|
recover, he died a few days later in Nairobi
Hospital. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
His brother, Charles Grey, met a similar fate
when he died of wounds inflicted by a buffalo. His |
|
|
|
obituary was published in 'The Times' on 3
October 1928:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Mr.
Charles Grey.....had spent much time, since 1903 in that country [Tanganyika,
now |
|
|
|
|
Tanzania]. He was there in August, 1914, and on
hearing the news of the outbreak of war rode |
|
|
|
500
miles on an ordinary bicycle to reach the nearest place where he could get
into the fighting. |
|
|
|
He joined a company of the King's African Rifles
in East Africa as a lieutenant. Shortly after- |
|
|
|
wards, in an engagement against a very superior
force of Germans, he was severely wounded in |
|
|
|
the
left hand and forearm. Only first aid was available, and Mr. Grey had to walk
22 miles to |
|
|
|
Kisumu,
the nearest place where he could obtain surgical treatment. There his arm
was |
|
|
|
|
amputated
6 in. below the shoulder, and when he had sufficiently recovered he returned
to |
|
|
|
England,
where he underwent two further operations. In the following year he went back
to |
|
|
|
Africa and joined General [Edward] Northey's
army, serving under him on the Intelligence Staff |
|
|
|
till the end of the War, being mentioned in
despatches and receiving the Military Cross. He |
|
|
|
became
an expert shot with a rifle, in spite of the loss of his arm, and his death
was the result |
|
|
|
of
injuries that he received from a wounded buffalo while he was hunting in
Tanganyika, |
|
|
|
|
accompanied
only by four of his native servants. He was a man of singular integrity,
courage, |
|
|
|
and charm, and greatly loved by every one who
knew him.' |

Sir Robert Grierson, 1st baronet and the
"Wigtown Martyrs" |

|
|
|
|
|
|
By
1685, Scotland had endured a century of sectarian dissension. The crofters
had clung to |
|
|
|
the "National Covenant," a movement
associated with the development of Presbyterianism |
|
|
|
as
a form of church government which was favoured by the people, as opposed to
the |
|
|
|
|
concept
of Episcopacy, which was favoured by the Crown, and which is a religion that
is a |
|
|
|
member of the Anglican communion. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Covenanters believed that they were bound by
the National Covenant of 1638 to resist all |
|
|
|
encroachments upon the religion of
Presbyterianism, whereas the Stuart kings were equally |
|
|
|
adamant
that the Church of Scotland should have a hierarchy of bishops in the same
way as |
|
|
|
the
Church of England. Passive resistance and sporadic rebellions by the crofters
had led to |
|
|
|
the
ejection of non-conforming preachers from their churches. As a result, the
people would |
|
|
|
often follow their preachers into the
countryside to hold their religious services in the open air |
|
|
|
at "conventicles" which were
forbidden. The climax came with the imposition of the Abjuration |
|
|
|
Oath, whereby all who refused to swear
allegiance both to the King and to the Episcopacy |
|
|
|
were likely to lose their homes, their crops,
their freedom and even their lives. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The countryside was full of spies and informers
who set neighbour against neighbour and town |
|
|
|
against
country. The south-west of Scotland rang to the curses of the crofters
against the |
|
|
|
hated sheriffs, and in particular against John
Graham of Claverhouse (the 1st Viscount Dundee) |
|
|
|
and
Sir Robert Grierson, 1st baronet and Laird of Lag (and the model for Sir
Walter Scott's |
|
|
|
'Sir Robert Redgauntlet' in 'Wandering Willie's
Tale,' which forms a story within a story in his |
|
|
|
historical novel 'Redgauntlet.') |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It was in this atmosphere that Margaret, Thomas
and Agnes Wilson grew up in the parish of |
|
|
|
Penningham
in Wigtownshire in the south-west of Scotland. Although their parents
were |
|
|
|
|
staunch Episcopalians, the surrounding wilds
were a Covenanting stronghold. Consequently, |
|
|
|
it was not strange that the children should be
enticed to the open-air services of the |
|
|
|
|
Covenanters. With the religious fanaticism of
youth, the children deserted Episcopacy for |
|
|
|
|
Presbyterianism and fled from Penningham for a
hand-to-mouth existence in the mountains, |
|
|
|
bogs and caves of Galloway. Here they lived with
other fanatical Covenanters as fugitives |
|
|
|
while the mounted troopers of Graham and
Grierson rode the hills persecuting the crofters and |
|
|
|
breaking up conventicles by force. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Starvation
drove the two girls back to Wigtown in February 1685 and they sought
sanctuary |
|
|
|
with
a man named Patrick Stuart. It was an unfortunate choice, since he was to
betray them. |
|
|
|
As
one of the sheriff's informers, he tested the girls by proposing a toast to
the King. They |
|
|
|
refused
to honour the persecutor of the Covenanters and Stuart, greedy for a reward,
called |
|
|
|
in the soldiers. The girls were lodged in the
"Thieve's Hole" at Wigtown, where they met an old |
|
|
|
widow
named Margaret MacLachlan, whose crime was holding a conventicle at her house
the |
|
|
|
previous Sunday. Probably with the aid of
torture, the three women were pressed to take the |
|
|
|
Abjuration
Oath, but they refused to recant their beliefs and in desperation it was
decided to |
|
|
|
bring them to trial. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
At their trial, the judges were Sir Robert
Grierson and his deputy sheriff, David Graham, brother |
|
|
|
of John Graham of Claverhouse. Associated with
them on the bench were two 'yes-men' named |
|
|
|
Major
Windram and Captain Strachan. They were charged with refusing the Abjuration
Oath, |
|
|
|
with
attending 25 field conventicles and 20 house conventicles, and with being
involved in the |
|
|
|
rebellions of Bothwell Brig and Airds Moss over
five years previously. These last two charges |
|
|
|
were patently ridiculous - Bothwell Brig had
been fought on 22 June 1679 and Airds Moss on |
|
|
|
22 July 1680, when the girls would have been
around twelve and seven years old. |
|
|
|
|
Nevertheless,
they refused to plead not guilty and the blood-crazed bench imposed the
harsh |
|
|
|
sentences of drowning at the stake. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Margaret
and Agnes Wilson's father, who had already been heavily fined because of
the |
|
|
|
|
actions
of his daughters, hurried to Edinburgh to seek clemency. Here he managed to
bail out |
|
|
|
Agnes
for £100, but only on the condition that she be produced as required when
the |
|
|
|
|
execution
date was fixed. He immediately smuggled the child away, forfeited the bond,
and in |
|
|
|
the
subsequent clamour of protest over the harsh sentences, succeeded in winning
her a |
|
|
|
reprieve. His pleas for the 18-year-old
Margaret, however, fell on deaf ears, while the fanatical |
|
|
|
girl made things worse for herself by refusing
to retract in any way or plead for pardon. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The inhuman sentences, however, were not allowed
to pass without protest. Friends drafted |
|
|
|
a petition for clemency for both the widow and
the girl in terms of pathetic servility but it |
|
|
|
failed to touch the hearts of Grierson or
Graham. The Scottish Privy Council frittered away |
|
|
|
the time and it was 30 April before it decided,
in a half-hearted fashion, to delay the execution |
|
|
|
until His Majesty's pleasure be known. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In
the meantime Grierson and his henchmen had fixed the drowning date as 11 May.
It is not |
|
|
|
known whether the Privy Council's provisional
reprieve ever reached Wigtown, or if so, whether |
|
|
|
it was so loosely and inadequately worded that
the executioners thought they could ignore |
|
|
|
or even destroy it. All that is certain is that
on 11 May the two Margarets were led from the |
|
|
|
Wigtown
Tollbooth to the Bladenoch, an arm of the Solway Firth, into which the waters
rushed |
|
|
|
in
a great wall at high tide. Hundreds of people straggled behind the procession
- some |
|
|
|
|
weeping,
some cursing the soldiers, some merely regarding it as a morbid form of |
|
|
|
|
entertainment. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once arrived, the two women were chained to
their stakes, with the widow MacLachlan's |
|
|
|
|
stake being placed in such a position that she
would drown first. The tide was already on |
|
|
|
|
the turn and the wall of water could be seen
rolling up the firth. In a short while the water |
|
|
|
reached Margaret MacLachlan and quickly rose
above her head. The water then began to |
|
|
|
rise up Margaret Wilson's body, when the
soldiers rushed into the water and dragged her free. |
|
|
|
But this was merely to give her one last chance
to take the Abjuration Oath. The crowd |
|
|
|
|
pleaded with her to say "God save the
King," which would have been sufficient to win her a |
|
|
|
reprieve,
but she replied, "God save him, if He will." On hearing this the
crowd shouted that |
|
|
|
this was close enough, but Grierson would have
none of it, instructing Major Windram to |
|
|
|
|
force her to say the Abjuration Oath, but she
cried out that she would not. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
At a sign from Grierson, one of the troopers
thrust his halberd at her throat and pushed her |
|
|
|
under the water, saying, "Tak anither
drink, hinny. Go gossip with the stobs [crabs]." In a |
|
|
|
few minutes the young girl had drowned, and the
crowd drifted away. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A
few years later, under the new King, William III, the religious freedom of
Scotland was |
|
|
|
|
recognised, but the simple crofters never forgot
the two drowned women. To this day a |
|
|
|
|
memorial stone marks the original site of the
drownings. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The event has entered into local folklore - for
example, it is said that for many years there- |
|
|
|
after
a broken man wandered the streets of Wigtown. He always carried a large jar
of water |
|
|
|
with him, since he was inflicted with an
unquenchable thirst. The man, who was both loathed |
|
|
|
and pitied, was said to have been the soldier
who urged Margaret Wilson to "tak anither drink." |

Sir Edward Ion Beresford Grogan, 2nd baronet |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
From the London "Telegraph" of 13 July 1927:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Colonel
Sir Edward Ion Beresford Grogan, Bt., C.M.G., D.S.O., was on Monday found
fatally |
|
|
|
wounded, with a revolver in his hand, at his
home, Shropham Hall, near Norwich. Sir Edward, |
|
|
|
who was 54 years of age, succeeded his father,
the first baronet, in 1891. He was a lieutenant- |
|
|
|
colonel in the Rifle Brigade (Prince Consort's
Own), and, as a General Staff officer, served in |
|
|
|
the South African War, in which he was mentioned
in despatches. From 1911 to 1914 he was |
|
|
|
Military Attaché to the South American
Republics. He won the D.S.O. in the Great War, during |
|
|
|
which he was attached to the 28th Division in
Salonika, being later appointed to G.H.Q. of that |
|
|
|
force. He was with the British Military Mission
in Siberia 1918-1919. He married in 1907 Elhnor |
|
|
|
Flora Bosworth, daughter of the late Mr.
Reginald Bosworth Smith, and widow of Sir Harry |
|
|
|
|
Langhorne Thompson, K.C.M.G. His father, Sir
Edward Grogan, the first baronet, was M.P. For |
|
|
|
Dublin from 1841 to 1865. There is no heir to
the baronetcy. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'At
the inquest Lady Grogan said her husband served on the General Staff during
most of the |
|
|
|
war, but since his return from Siberia he had
not been really well, and in 1924 he underwent a |
|
|
|
serious
operation. During the last three weeks his condition became gradually worse,
and he |
|
|
|
told her often he wished his sufferings were over. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Dr. Keeling, of Attleborough, said that Sir
Edward asked him last Thursday if he could hasten |
|
|
|
the end. In his opinion, Sir Edward's mind
became unhinged owing to his long illness. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The coroner (Mr. W.G. Barnard) returned a
verdict that Sir Edward died from injuries to the |
|
|
|
head casuded by firing a revolver into his mouth
while his mind was unhinged through pain due |
|
|
|
to a long illness.' |

Frances Rose, Lady Gunning, widow of Sir Henry
John Gunning, 4th baronet |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sir Henry Gunning, 4th baronet, married as his
second wife in October 1878, Frances Rose |
|
|
|
Churchill. At the time of this marriage, Sir
Henry was nearly 81, and his new wife, at about |
|
|
|
36,
was 45 years younger. Frances was the daughter of the Rev. William Henry
Churchill, |
|
|
|
Rector of Great Houghton in Northamptonshire. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In September 1895, Lady Gunning was charged with
forgery and tried at the Old Bailey. The |
|
|
|
following report is taken from the Cardiff
'Western Mail' of 11 September 1895:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'At
the Old Bailey on Tuesday (before Sir Forrest Fulton) Lady Frances Rose
Gunning [sic - |
|
|
|
her correct styling would have been Frances
Rose, Lady Gunning], aged 53, described as of |
|
|
|
no occupation, pleaded guilty to certain counts
of an indictment, which charged her with |
|
|
|
|
forgery.
To other counts she pleaded not guilty. Mr. Horace Avory, with Mr.
Biron, appeared |
|
|
|
for the prosecution, and Mr. Holloway defended
the accused. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Mr. Avory stated the case for the prosecution
at length, recapitulating the evidence already |
|
|
|
given at the police-court. He said prisoner had
pleaded guilty to a series of indictments, |
|
|
|
|
ranging from the year 1892 down to the present
time. She had, in fact, obtained large sums |
|
|
|
of money by forging the name of her father, who
was a country clergyman, living at |
|
|
|
|
Northampton, and she had also forged the name of
one her father's churchwardens. She also |
|
|
|
leased
a club at Kensington, in which she induced young women to invest capital, and
one |
|
|
|
young
lady, who let her have £1,300, had been rendered penniless. Another young
lady |
|
|
|
|
invested £2,000 in shares in the club, but
received none. The total sum obtained by the |
|
|
|
|
accused on account of this club was £8,601,
whereas the books accounted for only £828, |
|
|
|
and, in addition, prisoner had handed forged
bills to tradesmen to cover her debts. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Her father had already paid large sums for her
to avoid exposure, but had now put his foot |
|
|
|
down. Mr. Avory, concluding, said documents had
been found showing that Lady Gunning |
|
|
|
|
had been engaged in betting on horses. Mr.
Holloway, in extenuation, asked his lordship to |
|
|
|
consider the degradation his client had already
suffered. She had not expended her money in |
|
|
|
gambling, but had had financial reverses, which
brought her into the hands of money-lenders, |
|
|
|
thus occasioning her downfall. Her character
hitherto had been irreproachable, and possibly |
|
|
|
his lordship under all the circumstances might
order her release. Sir Robert [sic for Forrest] |
|
|
|
Fulton said that
was impossible. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Several persons who had known Lady Gunning many
years gave evidence as to character, |
|
|
|
among them being clergymen from Northampton,
Rutland, and other parts. Accused, who spoke |
|
|
|
with great emotion, said many of her actions had
been misrepresented. She could only ask for |
|
|
|
mercy.
Sir Forrest Fulton said: Lady Gunning had, undoubtedly, held a very high and
influential |
|
|
|
position, but, unfortunately, she embarked on an
undertaking to carry out which she resorted |
|
|
|
to systematic forgery. He must pass what to her
would be a severe sentence in order to deter |
|
|
|
others from doing likewise. He sentenced her to
twelve months' hard labour.' |
