Note also 'The Golden Legend' in respect of the story of Adam and the three seeds (see my entry above - 13 Sep 07 - 02:55 AM). As I say Kathleen Basford referenced this in her seminal work on the subject, 'The Green Man' (1978).

As for Fortean Times, we subscribe to it annually as a matter of course, living as we do out in the wilds of Durham. If you've got a copy of FT222 (May 2007) to hand you can see my image of the 'Foliate Osama Bin Laden' from the cloisters of Chester Cathedral; he keeps some choice company in there too, so if ever you're passing Chester be sure to check them out. And look out for the Cheese Rolling too; I made a wee film of this (see Cheese Rolling in Chester ) back in March (complete with the various 'municipal Green Men' from the surrounding buildings) - some choice comments on there too!
