The Brington Crystal
Hilling, Lyndon
16 SoSSAAAATTTBBBBGbCb. Margaret Viscountess Althrop, wife of Charles Robert 6th Earl Spencer died in 1889 aged only 37. Her grieving husband had a Celtic cross set above her tomb in the graveyard at Great Brington and on the top he set a magnificent crystal prism which caught the rays of the sun and flashed them in a rainbow of colours across the valley to Althorp House. A powerful and moving piece during which there is a waltz reminding the Earl of happier times dancing with his beloved wife. Can be heard played on Youtube.
