King William’s College Kwizz 2019. FT Round 7

7 refers to Cider With Rosie by Laurie Lee, set in Slad in Gloucestershire I think.

… so if this is a Gloucestershire round, the phrase “Stow on the Wold where the cold winds blow” (a phrase that drifts through my head from time to time, probably from some member of my all-Gloucestershire family at some point) is specific enough to be the answer.

I’m also guessing 4 is somewhere near the source of the Thames (Thames Head? Seven Springs? Presumably downriver from one of them); I don’t know who Jacquetta was but I think I remember that the Battle of Tewkesbury was important in the Wars of the Roses and no other Glos battles come to mind.

#3 is Berkeley Castle (in Marlowe’s ‘Edward II’)

#4: the first lock on the Thames downriver from the source is at Lechlade, and there’s a statue of Old Father Thames there too

Agree with Tim that #7 is Tewkesbury – which I think makes Edward IV the son-in-law
