It is really something to sing and dance about.
Dig up those old bones and get them dancing!

Change the two party system

Commoners identifies Mary as "daughter of Dr. Wake, prebendary of Canterbury, and nephew of Archbishop Wake, ancestor of Sir William Wake, bart. of Courteen". We assume that this means that she was connected to the Wakes of Courteenhall but we have yet to identify exactly how.
