The kingdom of the horse
These two friendly fellows live in the fields alongside the Gloucester Road. It was in this area that the final battle of the War of the Roses took place, where the Yorkists removed the claim from the Lancastrians; and yes, a young Richard, Duke of Gloucester was to the fore. His history was only in the ascendancy, but Shakespeare gave him a second appraisal with reference to these essential animals.

Blood makes the grass grow
Or so the old saying goes. This is part of Lincoln Green, scene of some of the bloody fighting in the Battle of Tewkesbury, 4th May, 1471. Although there are no definitive accounts of where it specifically took place, the records seem to include this part of the scenery.
The forces of the Lancastrians were heavily defeated and the ragged remains were chased up to the Bloody Meadow where many met their end.
