I thought the grail was the preserved lineage of the descendants of JC.

If so after 2000 years of "in law" DNA, there probably isn't much to write home about.

Surely a typo for Hereford

The grail was, as we all know, taken to Glastonbury
On the dissolution it went to Strata Florida
When Henry VII's men reached mid Wales it was hidden at Nanteos
In the early 70s it was generally held that the owners of Nanteos had placed it in the vaults of Barclay's Bank in Hereford.

No idea what happened to it in the last 30 years.

I've been using it for a cup in the bathroom for years.

It's in the shed. Barbeque season is over in Canada.

The grail is in a props room in Hollywood, after being used to film Raiders of The Lost Ark.

"Any readers of Dan Brown know exactly where it is..."

Where's that then?? Haven't read it! I've read the research on which he based his fictional story but am none the wiser about the location of the Grail.

Can't be right. Any readers of Dan Brown know exactly where it is...

Believe it or not:

"An ancient secret society; a demand for a papal apology; and a network of hidden tunnels. Strange things have been stirring in Hertfordshire recently. The Guardian newspaper goes in search of the Knights Templar and, perhaps, the cup of Christ"
