There is a famous exchange involved with one of his books. When published Cox had a long running row with the editor of the local newspaper. A Devizes paper I think. Anyway, it went on for weeks and got very nasty, the length of the exchanages were extraordinary and ran to great detail. The editor won out of course as it was his paper!

That is fascinating! The only other book I can find by him is "The Green Roads Of England" mentioned above. One wonders what he said to get the editor's knickers in such a twist. Any more info would be welcome.

He quotes a Mr. Cosworth of York re the Sun's shadow..."it is remarkable that the daily gauge of the shadows of both the Great Pyramid and Silbury is almost exactly four feet". What the hell does that mean?
