The Farley family of Somerset pioneered news media in provincial England, with newspapers in Exeter, Salisbury, Bristol and Bath, principally published by Samuel Farley, Edward Farley II and Felix Farley; among whom Edward Farley II was made a veritable martyr for press freedom when he died in gaol prior to his scheduled release on account of being pardoned for defying the censor's ban on Jacobite literature.[1]
