Guy Fawkes’ Lantern


My friend Dr Tony Morris has a post which is appropriate to today on his always interesting Morris Oxford blog about one of the treasures, or perhaps curiosities, of the Ashmolean Museum. 

It is what is believed to be the lantern that Guy Fawkes had with him when he was apprehended in 1605. In the post Tony sets out the history of the lantern, such as it is known, and also has a photograph of it in all its slightly bartered glory. His post can be seen at
