Those wrestler portraits are indeed brilliant, thanks for sharing! (Also the Rooney cross stitch thing. Boak.)

Glad you liked them, I'm a bit fascinated by Cumberland Wrestling as it's still so popular out in the Cheviots and Lakes, with plenty of young lads taking it up despite the fact you have to wear embroidered velvet hotpants. My dad got some good shots at the Alwinton Border Shepherds Show a few years ago
