Violet Gibson shot Mussolini in 1926. Missed on the first shot, which grazed his nose. Second shot the gun jammed. Irish in descent, she was repatriated to England because of her unionist descent. Spent the rest of her life in a sanatorium in Northampton.

Heritage open days. Visited a neglected local cemetery which a local volunteer group are starting to tidy. This Italian marble statue is grade II listed and commemorates Robert Fossett of circus fame. The ears are missing, one is on the desk of a local councillor as a paperweight.
