Fawkessailed Belle Lurettewinner Bembridge RegattaAugust 1885Admiral Sir Wilmot Hawksworth Fawkes, GCB, KCVO (22 December 1846-29 May 1926), was a Royal Navy officer, who commanded the Royal Yacht Osborne, and became Private Naval Secretary to the First Lord of the Admiralty in 1897. His last post was as Commander-in-Chief, Plymouth, 1908. The tankard was presented by The Prince of Wales, who would become Edward VII in 1902. In 1899 Fawkes became Aide-de-Camp to Queen Victoria. He was awarded Commander of the Royal Victorian Order (CVO) by King Edward VII on 11 August 1902 for his role in helping to organise the fleet review for the coronation of the King, 1902.See eleven letters addressed to the admiral by royalty, sold Sworders, 26 September 2017. The letters demonstrate the continuous relationship that Fawkes held with royalty. One letter dated November 6th, 1908, is addressed to Fawkes from Prince George, who thanks the admiral for interviewing a young Prince Albert to become a cadet of the Royal Navy, for which he was President. The intimate letter reads: 'I am sorry that in spite of all you did, you were unable to put him at his ease, he has always been rather shy, but I think it is better than being too forward, which many boys are in our days'.The Admiral is a descendant of The Fawkes of Farnely Hall, Otley, and Hawksworth Hall, Yorks. The father of Guye Fawkes, the gunpowder plot conspirator, was a descendant of the Fawkes family in Farnely. J M W Turner was a close friend of Walter Ramsden Hawkesworth Fawkes, a Yorkshire MP (2 March 1769-24 October 1825), which enabled him to build a significant collection of Turner’s works. Turner stayed at Farnely on numerous occasions. His oil painting ‘Snow Storm: Hannibal and his Army Crossing the Alps’, 1812, is said to have been inspired by a storm he experienced on one visit to Farnely.

Religious Comment upon the Monarchy: a rare and interesting London brown stoneware tankard of substantial size dating from the first half of the 18th century, the upper part of the cylindrical body with partial brown glazing and applied with moulded head and shoulder portraits of William and Mary centred by an oak tree with the head of Charles gazing out entitled ‘Royal Oak’ flanked by the incised initials J G, the tail of a similarly incised letter above, together with mouldings of orange trees, figures, horses, deer, dogs and roses, nominal half gallon capacity, 198mm high, the rim reduced (commemorate, commemorative, royal) *. In comparing this mug to a variety of smaller mugs each with a very similar handle shape there is to be found a distinct similarity to the moulded banding around the base also the hunting scenes. These are attributed to Vauxhall, Southwark or Fulham Potteries and date from the first half of the 18th century and more specifically the 1720’s. See ‘Browne Muggs, English Brown Stoneware’ by Robin Hildyard, an exhibition at the Victoria & Albert Museum in 1985. Quite probably produced sometime shortly after the Jacobite rising of the Old Pretender in 1715 in support of a Protestant Monarchy although just perhaps for that of the Young Pretender in 1745 however the reference to both William and Mary would suggest the former.
