From the 1840s to the 1920s, a sleepy Somerset village was home to the Agapemone, a cult led by rogue priest Henry James Prince and his successor, John Hugh Smyth-Pigott, the ‘Clapton Messiah’. Using archive documents, newspaper reports and the testimony of its members, this first modern investigation tells how these men lured wealthy women with the promise of salvation, forced them into ‘open marriage’ and defrauded them of their money.
