Richard John Seddon (sometimes known as King Dick) was the longest serving Prime Minister of New Zealand from 1893 to his death at sea in 1906. He was born in this cottage in 1845 to the local grammar school headmaster and a teacher but showed little aptitude at school and had only menial jobs before emigrating to Australia aged eighteen.
