[BITList] white hart

[CT's]

john

didn't know about the white hart.....................................and 
can't find any mention of hull and the plot.
I know the pub very well indeed - great place.  I lunched there every day on 
India Pale Ale and pork pie for months on end, the huge fire place was a 
very cozy place to be in winter. I was last in there about 10 years ago - it 
hadn't changed.

the only plotter [he may not have been one of the plotters, but the hit man 
for the plotters] from anywhere near hull was our man guy fawkes who was 
born about 40 miles away in york. however,  the plotters appear to have been 
from anywhere but the north of england.

I found out ................................elizabeth 1 - new law - This 
would have been seen as a disaster by the catholics, and would no doubt lead 
to their utter ruin. Almost immediately after this event, Catesby sent for 
his cousin Thomas Wintour and revealed the Gunpowder Plot to him at a 
meeting with Jack Wright at his house in Lambeth.
also.....In May of 1604, Guy Fawkes met with Robert Catesby, Thomas Percy, 
John Wright and Thomas Wintour at an inn called the Duck and Drake in the 
fashionable Strand district of London, and agreed under oath along with 
Percy to join the other three in the gunpowder conspiracy. This oath was 
then sanctified by the performing of mass and the administering of the 
sacraments by the Jesuit priest John Gerard in an adjoining room. Fawkes 
assumed the identity of John Johnson, a servant of Percy and was entrusted 
to the care of the tenement which Percy had rented. Around Michaelmas, 
Fawkes was asked to begin preparations for work on the mine, but these plans 
were delayed until early December as the Commissioners of the Union between 
England and Scotland were meeting in the same house. Eventually the work in 
the mine proved slow and difficult for men unused to such physical labours, 
and further accomplices were sworn into the plot.

john, you may be confusing the plots, this was 38 years later 
.....................Few pubs can claim a genuine place in history. Ye Olde 
White Harte certainly can. It was in an upstairs room here - now known as 
the Plotting Parlour - that in 1642 Sir John Hotham resolved to bar King 
Charles from the town. This act triggered the English Civil War and, in due 
course, lost Sir John his head. Maybe if he'd just decided to have another 
pint instead...
