Further to yesterday's Stuart Saturday... I visited the Margaret Clitherow Shrine in the Shambles in York this morning. The shrine also recognises Thomas Thwing, a 17th-century martyr who was executed in October 1680 following the "Popish Plot" fabricated by Titus Oates. I try to come here every time I visit York.

Hear ye! For #StuartSaturday, please share some pretty Stuart or 17th-century things today. We're all down with Covid at my place, so could do with some lovely images and/or music! I'm currently listening to '17th-Century Music for Canto & Basso':

A massive thank you to @HistoryRage and @GlosHistFest for the opportunity to tell the truth about the Quaker Oats man, do a little promotion for the 1970 film Cromwell, and share a bit of early Quaker history I love so much.
