Bare is the back that has no kin behind it.
That is not our case.

Eight hundred years ago there was a Rawdon in Rawdon, and one has never been wanting since.

Saxon, Danish, Norman, and Stuart kings have been and gone their way, and we remain; and I can tell you every Rawdon born since the House of Hanover came to England.

We have had our share in all England's strife and glory, for if there was ever a fight going on anywhere Rawdon was never far off.

Yes, we can string the centuries together in the battle flags we have won.
