Revolution House, Whittington, Derbyshire, 1858. Creator: Unknown
Revolution House, Whittington, Derbyshire, 1858. The cottage is connected...with one of the most important events in British history - the glorious Revolution of 1688, which terminated the intolerant and tyrannical reign of the Stuarts, and was the means of introducing the illustrious house of Hanover to the throne of these realms. In this cottage the Earls of Devonshire and Derby, and Mr. John D'Arcy, and, according to Bishop Rennet, Lord Delamere, Sir Howe, and some other persons of quality, met for the of devising some measures for rescuing their country from the double slavery with which it was threatened...[The cottage] was then a public-house, the sign of " The Cock and Pynot."...This memorable dwelling stands in the centre of the village of Whittington...the second window from the door, on the right, belongs to the room which was occupied by the distinguished patriots whose names will be ever dear to the lovers of British freedom...The whole building is now fast going to decay, and therefore its introduction into our pages will not be without its interest and value as an historic memorial of one of the most celebrated epochs in the history of our land'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858
