Wikipedia
Tiverton was a constituency located in east Devon, formerly represented in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. Enfranchised as a parliamentary borough in 1615 and first represented in 1621, it elected two Members of Parliament (MPs) by the first past the post system of election until 1885. The name was then transferred to a county constituency electing one MP. (Between 1885 and 1918, the constituency was alternatively called Devon, North East.)
In 1997, it was merged with the neighbouring constituency of Honiton to form the Tiverton and Honiton constituency.
Prime Minister Lord Palmerston was a former MP for the seat. __TOC__

Now, though (and Mr Tiverton acquitted himself of snobbery because the district council had since put its eight houses on the market and had even succeeded in selling one to the sitting tenant), the ceremony was for the first-born of young Mr and Mrs Donald Pagetter, who had pots of money and a nice sense of style, and were related to the Lord Lieutenant of the county.
