Oranges and Lemons Rhyme
Nursery Rhyme & History
The origin of the words to "Oranges and
lemons" - strange & sinister!
The exact date of origin is unknown but there
was a Square Dance called 'Oranges and
Lemons' dating back to 1665, unfortunately
there are no known record of the lyrics which
accompanied the dance but is likely that the
words were similar to that of the nursery
rhyme. The words to "Oranges and lemons" have
been much loved by numerous generations of
children. The neighbourhood names relate to
some of the many churches of London and the
tune that accompanies the lyrics emulates the
sound of the ringing of the individual
church bells.
The Tyburn Gallows
The words of the nursery rhyme are chanted by
children as they play the game of 'Oranges
and lemons' the end of which culminates in a
child being caught between the joined arms of
two others, emulating the act of chopping off
their head! The reason for the sinister last
three lines of the lyrics of "Oranges and
lemons" are easily explained, they were added
to the original rhyme, probably by children!
This addition dates to some time before 1783
when the infamous public execution gallows
(the Tyburn-tree) was moved from Tyburn-gate
(Marble Arch) to Newgate, a notorious prison
for both criminals and debtors hence "When
will you pay me"?". This move was necessary
to reduce problems caused by the crowds,
often exceeding 100,000, gathered along the
execution procession route. This stretched
along a three mile route from Newgate Prison
to Tyburn and around the Tyburn tree itself.
Newgate Prison
The 'Bells of Old Bailey', or more accurately
the tenor bell of St Sepulchre, had been
utilised prior to 1783 to time the executions
but after the gallows had been moved, Newgate
prison (now the site of the Old Bailey)
obtained its own bell. As the words to the
poem "Oranges and lemons" indicate the
unfortunate victim would await execution on
'Death Row' and would be informed by the
Bellman of St. Sepulchre by candle light
'here comes the candle to light you to bed',
at midnight outside their cell , the Sunday
night prior to their imminent fate, by the
ringing of the 'Execution Bell' (a large hand
bell) and the recitation of the following :
All you that in the condemned hole do lie,
Prepare you for tomorrow you shall die;
Watch all and pray: the hour is drawing near
That you before the Almighty must appear;
Examine well yourselves in time repent,
That you may not to eternal flames be sent.
And when St. Sepulchre's Bell in the morning
tolls
The Lord above have mercy on your soul.
The executions commenced at nine o'clock
Monday morning following the first toll of
the tenor bell. Who would have thought that
"Oranges and lemons" a childrens rhyme could
have such a sinister historical connotation?
Picture of Execution Procession at Tyburn,
London
Origin of the saying "On the Wagon" - meaning
a person has stopped drinking alcohol!
Prisoners were transported to Tyburn Gallows
on a wagon and were allowed one last drink in
a pub on the way to their execution. If
offered a second drink by a sympathiser the
guard would reply, "No, they're going on the
Wagon!"

Instructional DVD & Manual, Volume 1
Traditional Realist Oil Painting
American artist, Hall Groat II, in his unique
instructional DVD series demonstrates the
techniques of the lost art of traditional
realist oil painting. In volume #1 he
presents five comprehensive demonstrations,
offering nearly 2 hours of solid instruction.
The demonstrations included are of
compositions involving: three lemons,
radishes, ballet slippers, railroad
conductor's pocket watch, and teacup &
saucer.
Through his innovative, step-by-step approach
he outlines the process that was used by such
19th century painters as Edgar Degas and
Edward Manet. Using an easily understood
teaching approach, Hall reveals the secrets
behind creating dramatic light and shadow
illusions to compelling atmospheric spaces,
all the way to rendering convincing
three-dimensional illusions of form and
space.
The included DVD, along with the accompanying
manual, present a concise step-by-step
system, offering both the beginning and the
professional artist the necessary tools to
successfully create traditional realist still
life oil paintings. Such topics are covered
as establishing background variation and
movement, accents and cast shadows, and
realizing the primary and secondary planes of
the motif. Each of the five demonstrations is
divided into phases with clearly stated topic
headings that correspond to the steps
presented in the instructional guide. A
glossary of painting terms is also included!
All of the demonstrations are approximately
15-30 minutes in length.
Hall has taught art for over twenty years,
and currently is an Associate Professor of
Art at a college in New York. ARTNews
Magazine critic, Gerard Haggerty, states that
Hall Groat II's still life paintings evoke
the big picture that we call art history,
including painters like Jean-Baptiste-Siméon
Chardin, Edwin Dickinson, and his teacher
Lennart Anderson." Collectors of his work
have expressed that the work is "Alive, full
of grace vitality and beauty, capturing light
that is sublime in nature."
Groat is included in important private and
public collections worldwide. These include
actors, Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta
Jones, Clear Channel Communications,
Bristol-Myers Squibb, Cellular One, Sheraton
Hotel Corporation, Binghamton University,
Everson Museum of Art, Munson-Williams
