Trivia question that many Poms (sorry, "Brits"), unless of a Welsh background, may struggle to answer : Who was the only British Prime Minister for whom English was a second Language? David Lloyd George.

Coincidentally, I am currently reading The Secret Rooms by Catherine Bailey, which is a history of Castle Belvoir in England where many of the British documents (about sixteen tons!) were evacuated to when it became obvious that the country would go to war with Germany in 1915.

Among the land holdings of the castle owner, the 8th Duke of Rutland, was the area of Lincoln and Lincolnshire. PM Aisquith is mentioned quite a few times in the book, and I have seen one brief mention of David Lloyd George while skimming the book. I've only read about 100 pages of another very long tome.

This is a very strange history/mystery of Castle Belvoir, which still stands and allowed this book's author access to all family letters and records, which have been maintained over 300+ years, cataloged, etc. -- and, strangely, three sections of years from the 1890s to WWII purged by the 9th Duke of Rutland.
