From planting his banner on the walls of Rouen to presenting his book to Queen Margaret, this nobleman's influence knew no bounds. Intriguing engravings depict pivotal moments in his journey - witness Queen Anne entrusting him with the White Staff on her deathbed or marvel at Alton Towers, a grand testament to his opulence and taste. George Talbot, 6th Earl of Shrewsbury, leaves an indelible mark through these illustrations. The Flag Tower stands tall against Staffordshire's skyline while St Peters Chapel mournfully hosts the remains of this esteemed earl lying in state.

Delve further into his world as you gaze upon treasures like the Silver Bell that once graced his possession. The Late Earl may have departed from our realm but not without leaving behind Ingestre Hall - a magnificent seat nestled within Staffordshire's countryside that still echoes with tales from its illustrious past. Finally, immerse yourself in grandeur by witnessing a majestic procession led by none other than the Earl himself towards Alton Towers. This engraving encapsulates both power and pageantry associated with this remarkable individual.
