Huddington Court - Meakin Plate





This old battered plate is pretty amazing...As well as the detail on the front I particularly like the Makers Mark showing it was made by J&G Meakin and is of Huddington Court.........

Huddington Court was used to plan the 1605 Gun Powder Plot to blow up the Houses of Parliament and was also used - once Guy Fawkes was arrested - by some of his conspirators to hide in a secret room within the walls...
