Hi Penny - Sussex (Grins ...like a cat LOL) I noticed a number of names in the Home Counties with the sound 'cran' I often wondered if there is a history to this or what does it mean? I am here thinking of Cranleigh (Surrey) Cranbourne(Dorset) and some others I can't think of right now. Re: Celts in England There is a thingie (can't now remember it's carrect name) on a hill side in Oxfordshire. It's like a horse, the grass does not grow on the hillside where the image lies so if viewed from a distance you see an enormous 'horse' picture. Is it the case that Aurthur was a Celt? I once, after reading a couple of books on this period, went to Winchester in search of Aurthurian things and was delighted to find many things familiar. The Stone 'o Scone. It was predicted by ancient lore that if the stone was 'rolled over' one more time the world would end. Since it has now been moved back to Scotland do you think that the world will end. Also read somewheres that this stone was given to a celtic like tribe in Israel and it was also originaly a bit of a bigger rock that God had done something to (can't now recall what). Any case the account claimed the Stone was brought to the British Isles by the Scotti (These are NOT the same people as the modern Scottish but are the folk who predate the Celtic Invasions of Ireland, Man etc) The Stone, it went on, remainded in Ireland for a long time before ending up in Scotland. The Tuatha de Dannan King Aiden, it claimed, brought the stone to Scotland. In recent history the Stone was brought from Scotland to England. In this Century the Stone was returned to Edinburgh. Also wish to draw 'your' attention to the interest taken by several 'secret' organisations world wide - in this piece of rock and any writings about it. jo77
