This column is at Alnwick, which has an impressive second-hand book shop, except for the lack of medieval history books. The column was erected in honour of some big landlord who wasn't a total bastard, or at least that's what the inscription says. Someone had thrown a bunch of dead rabbits over the fence, which were lying about on the steps in varying states of decomposition. Weird.The rest of the photos are of the coastal castle of Dunstanburgh, which is pretty damn impressive, so the pictures can speak for themselves.
Total cop out. Fucking write summat funny, or don't bother.
ReplyDeleteIn fact don't ever bother again.
that's lush.
ReplyDeleteI told you the bit about the rabbits, that was funny.
ReplyDeleteThe bit with the rabbits made me feel sick. You're a rotten human being.
ReplyDeleteThe tenantry column was erected in honour of His Grace The Duke of Northumberland for being such a thoroughly decent chap and charging reasonable rents for his tenants. When the Duke saw that his tenants could afford to buy fancy monuments in his honour, he put the rents up. True Story.
