The Coach House, Ashby St Ledgers, #Rugby 🍻
Stands near the former gatehouse of the Catesby estate (Robert Catesby was the plot’s leader). The room above the gatehouse is traditionally said to have been a key planning centre for the conspirators. #BonfireNight #GuyFawkesNight💥

Because I'm easy come easy go
Little high little low
Any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to me to me
