Parliament Cottage, Longcombe, near Totnes, Devon, England: A Historical Retreat where King William III Held His First Council after Landing in England in 1688 This enchanting image showcases Parliament Cottage, a quintessential thatched-roof building nestled in the picturesque village of Longcombe, near Totnes in Devon, England. Dating back to the late 16th to early 17th century, this humble cottage holds a significant place in English history as the site where King William III, also known as William of Orange, held his first council after landing in England in 1688. King William III, a Dutch prince, arrived in England in November 1688 to claim the English throne, which he did in collaboration with his wife, Mary II, who was the Protestant daughter of King James II. Their arrival marked the beginning of the Glorious Revolution, which led to the deposition of King James II and the establishment of a new monarchy. After disembarking from his ship, the 'Gloucester,' at Brixham, Devon, on November 5, 1688, King William III made his way to Parliament Cottage, where he convened his first council on November 11, 1688. It was here that the new monarch began to form alliances and plan his next moves to secure his position on the English throne. The Parliament Cottage, with its charming appearance and rich historical significance, stands as a testament to the tumultuous events that unfolded in England during the late 17th century. Today, it serves as a reminder of the pivotal role that Devon and its people played in shaping the course of English history.
