Tewkesbury Banners Lyrics

The street banners of Tewkesbury
There are oh so many to see
The Sunne in splendour and the white boar
Were amongst those that we saw

The arms of those at Tewkesbury field
At the battle so many were killed
Their coats of arms displayed in the streets
You can see them all in the summer weeks

William Culpepper of Oxen Hoath Kent
For the Yorkist king to the battle he went
His banner with many others we saw
I counted one hundred there were a lot more

The arms of those at Tewkesbury field
At the battle so many were killed
Their coats of arms displayed in the streets
You can see them all in the summer weeks

An uncontrolled era of heraldry
Before the college of arms you see

The street banners of Tewkesbury
There are oh so many to see
The Sunne in splendour and the white boar
Were amongst those that we saw

The arms of those at Tewkesbury field
At the battle so many were killed
Their coats of arms displayed in the streets
You can see them all in the summer weeks

The arms of those at Tewkesbury field
At the battle so many were killed
Their coats of arms displayed in the streets
You can see them all in the summer weeks
