Last one #12thDayofChristmas. Drummers drumming ! In 1660 Alice Thornton's oldest daughter, age 6, was taken by her aunt's maids to a show celebrating the Restoration of Charles II in Richmond, Yorkshire. But 'she never having had seen any such things as soldiers or guns, or drums or noises and shoutings' (Bk2), fell ill with the shock. For more on how the family felt about the Restoration, see https://thornton.kdl.kcl.ac.uk/posts/blog/2022-09-12-a-house-divided/
