EPISODE 1,416: LORD BYRON VISITS EYWOOD OCTOBER 25, 1812 — A COMPLICATED SCANDAL

Written by

NOTE: This episode describes one scandalous event that happened in 1812 at Eywood, the 1500 acre coutry estate owned by Lord and Lady

Oxford. It happened long before my grandfather, EdwardFreeman became head gardener at Eywood. He would, however,have been

told of the indiscretions of Lady Oxford. Perhaps amused by the skuttlebut. I decided to dig a little deeper into the story. And that led

to Lord Byron, one of England’s most famous poets. The story is nasty and convoluted. Disgusting? Amusing? Waste of time.?
