Lloyd George & Winifred Coombe Tennant
A fascinating story from the BBC ( spotted by Spiritualism Link)

"Details of the life of Welsh Liberal politician, Winifred Coombe Tennant, have been revealed in new book.
In the 1920s Coombe Tennant was well known in political, artistic and spiritualist circles.
She was a suffragette, a supporter of Welsh Prime Minister Lloyd George, a psychic medium and for a decade wore traditional Welsh costume every day.
The book is based on her diaries and is written by author and art historian Peter Lord.
Mr Lord told BBC Radio Wales Ms Tennant was an "extraordinary woman".
"This diary is a unique document from a difficult period," he said.
"It runs from 1909 to 1955 and the part we have just published runs until 1924, but it gives intimate details of every aspect of her life.

Tennant isn't the only Member of Parliament who is a believer. It is said that Winston Churchill was a great , although secret believer in Spiritualism "
