Image description

Percy Jocelyn (1764–1843) Church of Ireland Bishop of Clogher and a member of the Society for the Suppression of Vice, was arrested when caught in a homosexual act with a guardsman, Private John Moverley, at the White Lion public house in the Haymarket, London. Buggery was at the time a capital offence and an ecclesiastical court deprived him of his diocese, but Jocelyn was never brought to trial and escaped to Scotland where he worked as a butler under an alias. Title refers to the sinful cities of the Bible (Genesis)
