I've been researching William Turner who was a very interesting character. He petitioned the Duke of York, while in prison, almost begging for his life. William must have been of some education, not everyone at that time could read or write.

It seems that the whole Pentrich Revolution was actually started by a government spry called Oliver - and that William Turner had just got swept up in the hysteria at the time.
