| Does anyone know the name of the castle in the background of the picture? Is it a romantic representation of Old Sarum or simply a Masonic doodle? I have three originals of this and they do vary slightly ... I rescued one from my daughter years ago as she lunged towards it with a pack of felt tip pens! Britannia and Old England are worth checking out ... has anyone colored (coloured) them in? I rarely show my Stukeley books to anyone these days as I remember a pre-Clovis (no, not the buttery spread) chap from New Hampshire a few years back who went to jab the fold out view of Avebury with a Biro! Suddenly I'm humming the Jimmy Durante song 'Ink a dink a do' .... (Horrid Yanky spell checker ain't it) * Camden's Britannia first published 1588 ** Check the guy out listening to an i-pod ... you know he's there! *** Stukeley's walking stick is actually a light saber I'm told and the guy in the Camden's piccy is a representation of the Long Man of Wilmer Flintstone according to spellcheck.
