Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: The Sign of the Marquis of Granby, Southgate, Hessle, East Riding of Yorkshire, England. I thought this a very unflattering depiction of the noble Marquis until I looked up Wikipedia John Manners, Marquess of Granby which says "In the remaining campaigns of the Seven Years' War the English contingent was more conspicuous by its conduct than the Prussians themselves. On 31 July 1760 Granby brilliantly stormed Warburg at the head of the British cavalry, capturing 1500 men and ten pieces of artillery. Since his twenties, he had been almost entirely bald, but disdained to wear a wig; during the charge, he lost his hat, giving rise to the expression "going at it bald-headed". A photo of the pub is at TA0326 : The Granby, Hessle. For another depiction on a pub at Waddingham, Lincolnshire, see SK9896 : The Sign of The Marquis of Granby, Waddingham. |
