| Known as the Old Lion Inn in 1605. Guy Fawkes House now and a residential property. |
As you can see from the plaque, Coombe Abbey had a part to play in this story. (If you go back to my photo for 1st November, I wonder if the scene at Coombe Abbey in 1605 might be something like that. Ooooooh!)
As for the fate of Guy Fawkes, he was tried and found guilty of High Treason along with 7 others. For the whole story, look HERE .

What an interesting place to live!
Gosh, that Guy Fawkes did not have an easy time of it did he? I love your photo of that building - and can't wait for the next post! (btw, Mr. L loved the gladiator story:)
Great post. And such great history to walk around in!
good post for today - Guy indeed was something of a scapegoat for the plot.
Yes, Tanya, that is someone home...lucky them :).
Adele - This is the same village that had some thatched roofs I used before. It is is an interesting place.
Lulu - Guy Fawkes was a naughty boy :).
Gerald & Paul...more text that I am used to including but it tells the story.
Amazing that this is a private home. But obviously it's in good hands.
You're right, Petrea. Bet they get a lot of people outside their door taking photos, like me!
I've always wondered about this holiday. I understand celebrating the fact that the plot was foiled, but not that it's named after the villain. British humor? ;)
I guess, Hilda. (Just had a look at your photos...very nice.)
