SACRED LAND will enable you to discover the hidden secrets and
meaning of the landscape around you, town or country, modern or
old, wherever you live in Britain. There has been a dramatic growth
in interest in our own history, buildings, landscape, sacred
places, beliefs and culture over the last few years and this book
will equip you with the tools to unlock the meaning, stories and
history that are literally embedded in our landscape. It takes us
from street names to churches; from hill forts to burial mounds;
from the way a road bends to the shapes of fields in order to
understand better the land that lies beneath our feet. In the
literal shape of our countryside can be detected the eddies of
time, politics, belief, warfare, passion and the durability of the
human existence. SACRED LAND is a fascinating, accessible read and
the perfect reference guide to have in your home or in your car. It
will be of interest to everyone who loves history, sacred places
and sacred history, and those who like to explore their ancestry
and roots.
