Charles Iโs statue stands on the spot where Thomas Harrison & 7 other regicides were hung, drawn & quartered in 1660, following the restoration of Charles II. The smell was so unpleasant that the locals objected, & the executions there were stopped.
History has influenced the naming of many a Great British Pub.
The Royal Oak inspired by King Charles II thrilling hiding & escape from Parliament troops on this Anniversary today. Here are some of the beautiful pub signs made.
