November 5th is one of the most significant dates on the British calendar. Bonfire Night, the night when we build great wood piles in our gardens and burn an effigy of Guy Fawkes, the man who so nearly blew up the King, the entire government and the House of Lords itself. There were many conspirators involved and Guy Fawkes was not the ringleader. But it is he who was caught red-handed waiting in the vaults of the Old House of Lords with a tinder box, a fifteen minute fuse and thirty-six barrels of gunpowder. This was on the evening of November 4th 1605 and Parliament was due to reassemble the next day; the plot which had been in the planning for more than two years failed with less than twenty-four hours to go. David's piece "Guy Fawkes" consists of part of the Parliament building with the conspirators' rented house next to it. In reality the two were actually that close to each other. For months they tried to dig through the cellar walls, until one day it was discovered the vaults they were trying to break into could be rented! In the event, the gunpowder was carried in through the door. Approximate measurements: 3 1/4" high 3 1/4" wide THE PHOTOS ARE PART OF THE DESCRIPTION. Please view photos carefully before purchasing.
