The decorative #WhiteRose in the #PlasterworkCeiling of #StMaryLeStrand is a reference to the #Jacobite movement to restore the exiled Catholic King #JamesEdwardStuart aka #ThePretender to the throne. Before the #JacobiteRebellion, Jacobites met to plot in secret & the white rose or white cockade, a flower made of ribbon, was worn to identify loyalty - also worn in battle.
