Earl of Rone: The Walk Past Lynton Cottage

The Earl of Rone procession passes Lynton Cottage in silence and the Grenadiers remove their hats.
'The Hunting of the Earl of Rone was banned after 1837. One of the contributing factors was the death of one of the participants who reportedly fell from the steps of Lynton Cottage and broke his neck. The modern procession passes Lynton Cottage in silence as a memorial' (from the Earl of Rone website).
