Edthefolkie Mantle or maidenhead; what does it mean? (37) RE: Mantle or maidenhead; what does it mean? 07 Aug 13


That's all well and good, but none of this explains the provenance in traditional balladry of other Home Counties towns.

e.g. "The young girl who lost her aylesbury on the way to Maidenhead"?

And what about green mantelpieces, eh?? Very Art Nouveau, no doubt, but what's the symbolism?
