Leader14 - H. Nelson Ward - Molo Web - The Rev. Horatio Nelson Ward served as rector to Radstock between 1855 until 1888, dying from complications of a chest infection. His middle name was in honour of his naval grandfather, Admiral Lord Nelson, whom he never met on account of his birth date occurring several years after the battle of Trafalgar. The kinship arose through the passionate liaison and infidelity of the admiral with Lady Hamilton, leading to the illegitimate birth of the rector's mother named Horatia, the latter never knowing the identity of her mother. Upon marriage to a clergyman, Horatio was her firstborn. However, the paternity of the rector's mother was fully accepted by the family, who amassed a number of important items once belonging to Lord Nelson and Lady Hamilton.
