"Merrie England": Tim Walker Shoots English Folk Culture for Vogue UK July 2011. "The Hunting of the Earl of Rone" folk tradition. Each Spring Bank Holiday the Devon village of Combe Martin is consumed with the pursuit of a masked man wearing a necklace of sea biscuits. According to the legend, the prisoner is the second Earl of Tyrone, an Irish renegade who was shipwrecked in 1607 before being captured by grenadiers. In today's re-enactment he is shot at and drowned for our entertainment. Mascara, England, People, Ideas, Tyrone, Folk, British Isles, Morris, Prisoner
