Horsemen Graffiti Haddington Church

Graffiti on two men on horses on stone work on south wall of St Mary's Parish Church, Haddington. There are also marks from musket balls probably made during the siege of Haddington in 1548. 'The eighteen month occupation of Haddington 1548–1549 is said to be Scotland's longest siege. French, German and Scottish armies battered the defences of the burgh town trying to dislodge a stubborn and forlorn English garrison. In September 1549, the English relief column arrived unopposed and extricated the remaining plague-ridden defenders, leaving the fortifications to be levelled by the besiegers.'
