Gate Of Remembrance, The

In 1908, Francis Bligh-Bond was appointed as an archaeologist for the ruined abbey at Glastonbury. Bligh-Bond's methods were a little unusual in that he consulted the ghosts of long-dead monks for information on how the abbey was built and where to find the ruined chapels hidden under the grass. When the bishop found out some years later that Bligh-Bond was consorting with the dead, he fired him. Glastonbury is one of the holiest places in England, sacred to Christians and Pagans alike, and in this fascinating book, Bligh-Bond demonstrates with his rigorous scientific method that the information he got from the monks was accurate. This is a fantastic hardcover book from the Collector's Library of the Unknown and it is in very fine, previously loved condition.
