Bottle Number One
of Cask Number One was gifted to the Master,
Mr. Andrew
Graham, of Balliol College, Oxford.
Mr. Graham pointed
out to us that although John Balliol certainly
founded the College, it was really Lady Dervorguilla
who ensured that the
College continued to exist, giving
the College their first Statutes in 1282.
In many
ways, the continuation of Balliol in Oxford is
at least
as
much a lasting memorial to her husband
as is Sweetheart Abbey. |
