Brinklow Jubilee Beacon

As part of the Queens Diamond Jubilee Celebrations over 4000 beacons were lit up and down the country.

One close to Rugby was at the Tump in Brinklow. The Tump as its know locally is the Motte of the old Brinklow Castle. It dates from the 11th century and is one of the best if not the best preserved of its type in England.

The villagers were out en masse to celebrate and the evening started and finished with fireworks.
