I think I'll make some Banbury cakes, said Old Fox. It's rather a gloomy day & Wolf's been out sketching, so he'll need a nice tea. One of your recipes? asked Babcia. No, said Old Fox, from an acquaintance, long gone now, a true rascal but very good company, name of Gervase.
Albert Brassey, by Leslie Ward - Vanity Fair, 15 March 1906
He was a British rower, soldier and Conservative Member of Parliament for Banbury 1895-1906.
He died in January 1918, aged 73. And all the foxes celebrated.
Happy #mondaymotivation folks! To beat the Monday Blues, we decided to post/promote NRG's Trinity/Big Three, or as well like to call them, "The Triad"!

Concept/gesture sketch for another @PoopRaven #fanart that's been stuck in my brain for literally weeks. Eventually going to be an AU where the Big 4 were forced to make pacts with old allies. This will be Quentin Darcy: Earl of Banbury, Prince of Anwwn, Vassal of Arawn.
Banbury Cross & Fine Lady, watercolours.
Originally painted last year to create souvenirs for @BanburyMuseum, these watercolours are now framed up as beautiful, detailed, delicate paintings.

Today Banbury hillfort #Dorset is largely inaccessible and damaged by centuries of agricultural attrition. The ramparts survive in places to 2m high and the site still dominates the Stour Valley
It has never been excavated

@17thCenturyLady @MuseumCromwell @penswordbooks @kristianjmartin @quintonjournals @cheapsellotape @tomb1649 @CryssaBazos I’m going to nominate James II’s visit to Banbury in 1687. He was attacked by a dog, so pulled out a pistol and shot it. The noise startled the Earl of Abingdon’s horse, throwing the Earl out of the saddle and leaving him with a nasty boo-boo...
I’d like to introduce myself as it’s #PortfoIioDay

Epona, is the #Celtic Mare goddess in the nursery rhyme 'Ride a Cock Horse to Banbury Cross.’ Known as Rhiannon, she represents the rebirth of light. Is in #FleetwoodMac song “Rhiannon rings like a bell through the night and Wouldn't you love to love her?” #FolkloreThursday
"Ride a cock-horse to Banbury Cross,
To see a fine lady upon a white horse;
Rings on her fingers and bells on her toes,
And she shall have music wherever she goes"
WHO is the mysterious lady rider? Lady Godiva? Queen Elizabeth 1 or Celia Fiennes? #FolkloreThursday
