The plaque on Garden Farm, dating from 2003, was erected by the Ricardians to commemorate the lives and deaths of the family of Richard III.

It reads, with a pleasingly medieval absence of punctuation:
"As recorded in the 15th century annals, attributed to William Worcester
King Richard III b 1452 and his brother and sisters William of York b1417 Anne Duchess of Exeter b1493 and Margaret Duchess of Burgundy 1446-1503 were born at Fotheringhay

This plaque marks the 500th anniversary of Margaret's death Richard III Society 2003"
Garden Farm, Fotheringhay

Dating right back to the 15th Century, built for Edward IV, This is a grade II listed building - see LinkExternal link . The listing gives interesting details of the later reconstructions, but does not account for the name. Nor does the BHO LinkExternal link - which says it was formerly known as the New Inn.
