A Very Protestant Area
[edit]Masterman attributed his defeat, amongst other things, to Protestant sentiment and hostility to Irish Home Rule. Lurking at the back of my mind is a memory that Masterman attracted unfavourable comment by wearing a prominent cross around his neck when he went canvassing (I think he was a very High Church Anglican, which itself attracted suspicion, and was even mistaken for a Catholic by many voters). Think it was in the unfinished Bentley Brinkerhoff Gilbert biog of Lloyd George, which I read over 25 years ago. Might be a useful addition if somebody has a citation.Paulturtle (talk) 19:49, 4 October 2021 (UTC)
