The story of the First Marquess of Ripon - an illustrated talk by Richard Taylor at St Wilfrid's Catholic Church

His statue is in the nearby Spa Gardens but this once prominent Victorian statesman is little known today. From 10 Downing Street to Studley Royal by way of India, his is an eventful life which deserves to be better know.
