Eight Days a Week

July Challenge: Beatles Song Titles

Judges Cave, West Rock, New Haven CT

The weeks must have seemed at least eight days long for the judges who fled England when accused of Regicide.
Local people brought food and clothing to their hiding place on West Rock.

The plaque reads: Here May Fifteenth 1661 and for some weeks thereafter Edward Whalley and his son-in-law
William Goffe, members of Parliament General, officers in the army of the Commonwealth and signers of the death
warrant of King Charles First, found shelter and concealment from the officers of the Crown after Restoration.

"Opposition to tyrants is obedience to God"
1896
