General notes
There are different stories of the horseshoe's origin. One says that John of Gaunt's horse shed a shoe when he left Lancaster Castle for the last time and the townspeople set it in place as a memorial. Another says it is related to the horse fairs held in Lancaster and a third links it to Bonnie Prince Charlie who passed through Lancaster in 1745.
