Governor Grey




Governor Grey was born on 14 April 1812 – which means that if he was still alive he'd be 201.  So who the heck  was he, I hear you wondering?

He was New Zealand's third Governor acting on behalf of Queen Victoria.  He also had a stint as Governor of South Australia and of what became South Africa.  Clearly one of the Queen's go-to guys.
