Excerpt from Edwin Brothertoft
The Cavaliers always ran when they saw Puri tan Colonel Brothertoft and his troop of white horses coming.
They ran from the lost battle of Horncastle, in the days of the great rebellion, and the Colonel chased.
North and West he chased over the heaths and wolds of his native Lincolnshire. Every leap took him farther away from the peaked turrets of Brothertoft manor-house, - his home, midway between the towers of Lincoln Cathe dral and Boston on the Witham.
Late at night he rode wearily back to Horn castle. He first took care that those famous horses were fed a good feed, after their good fight and brave chase, and then laid himself down in his cloak to sleep beside Cromwell and Fairfax.
