Famous quotes containing the words baron and/or parker:

    For age with stealing steps
    Hath clawed me with his crutch,
    Thomas Vaux, 2d Baron Vaux Of Harrowden (1510–1566)

    Across Parker Avenue from the fort is the Site of the Old Gallows, where 83 men “stood on nothin’, a-lookin’ up a rope.” The platform had a trap wide enought to “accommodate” 12 men, but half that number was the highest ever reached. On two occasions six miscreants were executed. There were several groups of five, some quartets and trios.
