Gfrey de Mandeville and London's Camelot is by archaeologist and historian Jennie Lee Cobban, who says in her introduction: "Always because I can bear in mind I hang on been friendly in two a touch rival subjects: archaeology and the world of the weird."
Jennie is also friendly in witches. One of her sooner books is The Lure of the Lancashire Witches, about the Pendle witches who lived not far from the rural community Jennie herself was natural in. As an substantial, she motivated to Barnet, in North London, and says: "I was excited to classify that the sphere was a settle down warehouse of spirit lore, legend and archaeological trick." That is the type of Gfrey de Mandeville and London's Camelot.
My own resentment in the sphere came as part of a Grail pursue and a perceive to a undertaking site of Emperor Arthur's particularly fortress of Camelot. I went to Camlet Moat, in Trent Continue, which is called Camelot on some old maps, influence the time of the Frosty Solstice 2012 and took photos of the sphere. As soon as caption about it on my blog, Jennie asked me if she might use one of my photos in the new and restructured edition of her book on London's Camelot (the first editionis out of variety and precise to find). Trent Continue is also understood to be shadowy, both by the owner of the over and done hunting quarter, Gfrey de Mandeville, and by a unclear member of the aristocracy who some connection with the God.
But Gfrey de Mandeville and London's Camelot isn't lone about Arthurian myths and waiflike knights. The book also has sooner a bit about witches.
As ego who has studied the history of Wicca will know, Gerald Gardner's Bricket Copse coven met and circled in a real witch's lodge. But, prior Gerald motivated the floorboard framed thatched lodge to St Albans, it had been rescued from demolition and was one of the exhibits in a myths museum in North London. Jennie also writes about some significant witch trials in the sphere - among one animal accused of witchcraft who managed a jail break to try to escape her persecutors.
I might go on - the book is silent with intriguing mysteries and colourful carry - but the best way to find out all about them is to read the book yourself. Jennie's caption category is wholly comic and full of dry humour, like ancestors who are sticklers for faithful dainty will love all the alluring historical waterproof she has precisely researched.
