Name

Moore Deputations to London

Description

George Moore and others travelled to London repeatedly to petition for relief from the consequences of the Revestment. The deputations were received politely and achieved nothing. Moore's letters from London, preserved in the Bridge House Papers, document the experience of a Manx patriot confronting parliamentary indifference.
