You mentioned this in a folklore post:

[The fairies] were also associated with caves. One lived in Thor's Cave, and a whole clan were to be found in the cavern beneath Ludchurch.

Hello Nix, a lot of the older ones are here
http://archive.org/search.php?query=creator%3A%22Folklore+Society+%28Great+Britain%29%22
but I suppose the newer ones are still in copyright and I'm not sure there's anywhere you can see them for free on the internet? (I can see them through a library subscription at JSTOR). If it's any consolation I had a look at the quote you mention, and boringly that's literally all it says in the article - well, about the fairies at Ludchurch, I'm assuming that's what you were interested in. The rest of the article is about other places in Staffordshire. But if there's anything I can try to find out..
