Brampton gets ready for Christmas 2022
Brampton, Cumbria
Brampton is a small market town, civil parish and electoral ward within the City of Carlisle district of Cumbria, England, about 9 miles (14 km) east of Carlisle and 2 miles (3.2 km) south of Hadrian's Wall. Historically part of Cumberland, it is situated off the A69 road which bypasses it. Brampton railway station, on the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway, is about a mile outside the town, near the hamlet of Milton.
St Martin's Church is famous as the only church designed by the Pre-Raphaelite architect Philip Webb, and contains one of the most exquisite sets of stained glass windows designed by Sir Edward Burne-Jones, and executed in the William Morris studio.
The town was founded in the 7th century as an Anglian settlement.
Brampton was granted a Market Charter in 1252 by King Henry III, and became a market town as a result.
During the Jacobite rising of 1745, Charles Edward Stuart stayed in the town for one night, marked by a plaque on the wall of the building (a shoe shop) currently occupying the location; here he received the Mayor of Carlisle who had been summoned to Brampton to surrender the city to the Young Pretender. The Capon Tree Monument, to the south of the town centre, commemorates the 1746 hanging of six Jacobites from the branches of the Capon Tree, Brampton's hitherto traditional trysting place.
In 1817 the Earl of Carlisle built the octagonal Moot Hall, which is in the centre of Brampton and houses the Tourist Information Centre. It replaced a 1648 building which was once used by Oliver Cromwell to house prisoners.
Much of Brampton consists of historic buildings built of the local red sandstone.
At the moment of surrender
I folded to my knees
I did not notice the passers by
And they did not notice me
Lyrics by U2: from The moment of surrender.

The Japanese Instrument of Surrender was the written agreement that enabled the Surrender of Japan, marking the end of World War II.

My illustration depicts Australia's most notorious bushranger Ned Kelly. I wanted to make sure it wasn't just about his own surrender to the police, but the many people who surrendered their lives to Kelly and his gang.
The museum walls were covered in photos of US troops surrendering at the hands of the superior North Korean forces.
Lee's Surrender overshot blanket, ready to weave. This felt good!
I assume that this weaving pattern came from sometime around the Civil War, given the name. I can't wait to actually have it finished!
