The Bagehot Memorial Fund exists to honour the life and legacy of Walter Bagehot (1826-1877), whose writings on constitutional and financial subjects remain influential globally to this day. We have already done much to commemorate him in his home town and, through this website, across the world, and have plans to do much more.

sending a cheque made out to ‘BAGEHOT MEMORIAL FUND’ to The Treasurer, LDHS, 12 Bicknell Drive, Langport TA10 9FE
