| Went up to Uffington White Horse again on Sunday. I have heard and read that even throughout the Middle Ages there was some kind of "Cleaning Festival" once a year at the top of the hill. The fact that the image has survived to this day really is a kind of miracle though. I've also read that the image has altered throughout time, and I was wondering if anyone had any links or info on what it looked like in its original state. One can certainly make some fairly sound theories as to the use and meaning behind stone circles and dolmens, but the Uffington Horse truly is enigmatic. Man, i would love to know the inspiration behind it. In my opinion, it is one of Britain's greatest treasures. You don't get many images as powerful as that. Take care, scott Reply | with quote | Posted by Scott7 11th June 2002ce 16:14 4 replies: Re: uffington (Chris Collyer) Re: uffington (fitzcoraldo) Re: uffington (BrigantesNation) Re: uffington (RiotGibbon) |
