Loremen S6Ep1 - The Hellfire Club


Listen Later

(No, not that Hellfire Club.)

The Loremen return for series 6 and it's a saucy start to the year. We travel to the county of Buckinghamshire to meet some rich and powerful men who are behaving disgracefully — what a twist!

William Hogarth, Sir Francis Dashwood and The Notorious John Booth set up a secret drinking society in the 18th century. The first rule of the Hellfire Club was that you had to have been to Italy, and the second rule was that you had to be drunk. (A bar for entry that has been pretty much smashed by low-cost airlines and duty free.)

From cavorting in monasteries to tangling with Satan himself, these utter legends lived by the motto, "Do what thou will!"
