It is almost needless to say that Frank Stokoe was of those who would becertain to concern themselves in an enterprise such as the Rising of1715. His sympathies were entirely with the Stuart, and against theHanoverian King. Moreover, though he owned his peel tower and the landsurrounding it, he was yet, as regards other land, a tenant of the Earlof Derwentwater, as well as being a devoted admirer of that nobleman. Naturally, therefore, when the Earl took the field, Stokoe followed him;and had a...ll been of his frame of mind, there had been no ignominioussurrender at Preston. Whilst fighting was to be done, no man fought sohard, or with such thorough enjoyment, as Stokoe. "Surrender" was a partof the great game that he did not understand; he was not of the stuffthat deals in "regrettable incidents. " At Preston that day, when all wasdone, there stood King George's men on either side, as well as in hisfront; in his rear a high stone wall, even to a man less heavilyhandicapped than he by weight, an obstacle almost insurmountable.
