Nearly all the Lancastrian chiefs were slain, Henry's cause was lost, and ere long he was captured by Warwick and lodged in the Tower. The credit of the crowning victory of Towton does not rest with Warwick alone, for he had the help of young Edward, perhaps as great a military genius as himself.
Denbigh, on Waters Creek in Warwick County, Chuckatuck in Nansemond, and the headwaters of the Poquoson in York County are among the sites of early mills. John Bates of Skimeno in Upper York County, a large land owner, operated two mills, one on his plantation called "Pease Hill creek mill" and the other, "Okenneck," a water-grist-mill. Brandy for family use often was distilled on the plantation.
From the bridge the road passes in front of the Castle Gate, and enters the principal street of Warwick.
But though in this resembling the subtlest of the brethren, the fair sister shared with Warwick an expression, if haughty, singularly frank and candid in its imperious majesty; she had the same splendid and steady brilliancy of eye, the same quick quiver of the lip, speaking of nervous susceptibility and haste of mood.
But still the untiring might of Warwick defied the press of numbers that swept round him tide upon tide. Through the mist, his black armour, black plume, black steed, gloomed forth like one thundercloud in the midst of a dismal heaven.
Warwick, p. 329. No amusement was allowed him, nor society, which might relieve his anxious thoughts: to be speedily poisoned or assassinated was the only prospect which he had every moment before his eyes; for he entertained no apprehension of a judicial sentence and execution; an event of which no history hitherto furnished an example. * Rush, vol. viii. p. 989.
"Yield, my lords, yield! Ye have done all that men could do!" "Yield, Montagu," whispered Warwick. "Edward can harm not thee. Life has sweets; so they say, at least." "Not with power and glory gone. We yield not, Sir Knight," answered the marquis, in a calm tone.
Warwick, it is not for me to hint at things that lawyers could say on the subject. 'Your forbearance is creditable, Lady Wathin. 'Believe me, Mrs. Warwick, the step is I speak in my husband's name as well as my own strongly to be advised. 'If I hear one word more of it, I leave the country. 'I should be sorry indeed at any piece of rashness depriving your numerous friends of your society.
"Prince," said Montagu, abruptly, "though the pride of Warwick and the honour of our House may have forbidden the public revelation of the cause which fired my brother to rebellion, thou, at least, art privy to a secret " "Cease!" exclaimed Richard, in great emotion, probably sincere, for his face grew livid, and its muscles were nervously convulsed.
But today it is all a crumbling heap; ivy, rooks and daws hold the place in fee, each pushing hard for sole possession. It is eight miles from Warwick to Stratford by the direct road, but ten by the river. I have walked both routes and consider the latter the shorter. Two miles down the river is Barford, and a mile farther is Wasperton, with its quaint old stone church.
