201 years ago...

 On 13 May 1812, James Gough was tried at the Old Bailey Courthouse, London and originally sentenced to death. Fortunately for all his later descendants this sentence was reduced to transportation for life instead...

Finalising images to be included in my James Gough book now that the story is completed. Do you have any photos of his children? Belongings? Buildings? Tools? If so please let me know. 

There will be several historical images from the archives included in the book and a number of on site photos of buildings that are linked to Gough. Unfortunately most have been demolished but some details remain in existing buildings such as St Matthew's Church at Windsor.
