Parliament, having displaced the Catholics once and for all, were left with the tricky question of ascession and, through various dodgy deals, ended the Royal prerogative and Parliamentary supremacy was asserted.
James II had abdicated and buggered off to France. William and Mary, as good Europeans, had screwed England and the Crown eventually passed to the (mad and German) House of Hanover.
Sorry for the crap (and possibly inaccurate) history lesson. This place, where the process started, became known as 'The Revolution House'. A Pynot is apparently local slang for magpie, which is odd, because when I grew up there, magpies were known as, urm, magpies.Licensing
