Sancho (c.1729-1780) was enslaved and taken to England as a child. Defiant, he educated himself and escaped slavery, working first as an upper servant for a noble household, and later as a shopkeeper while writing and composing music. Published after his death, his letters gained him wide fame for their wit and humanity. Sancho is not shown as a servant, but as a self-confident man of status. Gainsborough’s free touch – skilled, yet seemingly effortless – compliments this sense of self-assurance.

Hotel stop in Thetford. Thetford is a market town and civil parish in the Breckland district of Norfolk, England. It is on the A11 road between Norwich and London, just south of Thetford Forest. After World War II Thetford became an ‘overspill town’ taking people from London, as a result of which its population increased substantially.
“If you want to see the poor remain poor, generation after generation, just keep the standards low in their schools and make excuses for their academic shortcomings and personal misbehavior. But please don’t congratulate yourself on your compassion.”
Socialism in general has a record of failure so blatant that only an intellectual could ignore or evade it.

St Thomas à Becket Church in Fairfield stands alone in a field on the Marsh, surrounded by water courses and sheep. A causeway was built in 1913, and until then the church was more often than not surrounded by water during the winter and spring. The church is dedicated to St Thomas à Becket, the Archbishop of Canterbury from 1162 until his murder in 1170. Legend has it that the Archbishop was journeying across the dangerous Romney Marsh, when he fell into one of the many ditches. He prayed to St.Thomas, as he came up for the second time, for a miracle to save him from a watery death. Just in time a farmer arrived to save him, and in gratitude the Archbishop had the little church built and dedicated to St Thomas a Becket.
