Description: | Song in support of the romantic image of Lord Derwentwater, who was beheaded at Tower-hill on 24th February, 1716, for supporting the Jacobite cause.This song forms part of a selection of songs taken from the Local Historian's table book. The book was published in several volumes in the 1840s and was divided into a 'Legendary division' and a 'Historical division'. The songs in this collection are taken from volumes 1-3 of the Legendary division. Similar to the Monthly chronicles of lore and legend, these volumes contain a mixture of fact, fiction and legend, although both publications are equally fascinating. The Legendary division consists largely of local songs and ballads with accompanying information about the possible origins of the songs, characters, places and events within. ; Local chronicles compiled by M.A. Richardson | Publisher: | M.A. Richardson Grey Street ; Newcastle upon Tyne | Rights holder: | rights holder : Newcastle University | Subjects: | law & crimes & execution & Jacobites Law and Order | Temporal: | start=1841;end=1860; | Source: | Folk Archive Resource North East | Identifier: | farne:N4329101 | Go to resource |
