Description
Peel became a moderately well-known figure, owing to the song written about him, D'ye ken John Peel.
D'ye ken John Peel with his coat so gay*?
D'ye ken John Peel at the break o' day?
D'ye ken John Peel when he's far, far a-way.
With his hounds and his horn in the morning?
Chorus
For the sound of his horn brought me from my bed,
And the cry of his hounds which he oftime led,
Peel's "View, Halloo!" could awaken the dead,
Or the fox from his lair in the morning.

Nice shot! I am familiar with Sir Robert Peel, but not John . Thanks for the description :)
Gillian Singleton replied:
I knew the song but didn't associate it with this man until I looked into it. These windows were in a shop in Keswick in the Lake District, some of them had been covered up,but the shop owner kindly let me take photos and gave me some history on them.
