Welcome to the Gunpowder Plot
Pages!
The focus
of these pages is the Celebration of the defeat of
terror in 1605. It is very important to understand
that celebration comes after the fact. For
celebration the most important facts are the
perceived views of specific times and places. The
official perceived views of the King's Book which
served as the first detailed account of the plot
structured the first celebrations and informed the
artifacts of celebration which were selected to
mark the observances. Popular interpretations of
the plot and of Guy Fawkes changed frequently.
Therefore, we are not concerned here so much with
factual history but with changing interpretations.
We are also dedicated to the discovery.

artifacts of celebration and therefore we
encourage you to apply these customs and
traditions in your celebrations today. To begin
