The Fenny Poppers are six small ceremonial canons (cast iron mugs stuffed with gunpowder) which are fired ceremonially every Nov 11 th. It is believed they were first fired in 1740.
All six poppers were re-cast in 1859, after one of them burst. It is these that are still used today and they were recently examined and x-rayed to ensure they have no cracks. During their long history, many sites have been used for this battery.
