Artist's Comments

The folly at the top of the hill within Bradgate Park is called Old John. This is believed to be named after an old retainer of the fifth Earl of Stamford, who erected it in his memory after John, the retainer, was killed accidentally here.

The park is in the middle of Newtown Linford, a village whose name appears to be the source of some confusion. "A new hamlet by the ford under the lime trees" seems somewhat less likely that the more obvious "New town by the ford over the River Lin". However, in both cases, all things are relative, and "new" in this context means some time in the thirteenth century.
