3.1 - Henry Pelham (Part 1)

Prime Factors - Ranking UK Prime Ministers

Born the "spare" second son of Baron Pelham, Henry watched his brother bask in the glow of wealth and titles. With the seat in Parliament his brother bought for him, Henry found his own voice, teamed up with Robert Walpole, and zoomed up the political ranks. Stepping out from his sibling's shadow, Henry Pelham soon stood tall as Britain’s third Prime Minister.

Recorded on location at the Pelham Public Library in Pelham, Massachusetts.
