The most famous person to be ducked is controversial artist Stella Vine, who is a native of Alnwick...
Interviewed in 2004 she said....
With her beloved maternal grandmother now living in a home near Alnwick, Stella yearns to come North again. “I would love to be able to buy 11 Percy Terrace, the home I grew up in with my grandmother in Alnwick. And I've said as soon as this show is over I'll paint something for the Bailiffgate Museum. I've always wanted to do the ducking stool at Alnwick Fair, but perhaps that might be a bit too dark.”
