A wonderful story recommended to us by our stalwart Father Ilya. Of course, the nativist Gaelic and Briton church adherents will be up in arms about the date. Its not lost on me that this, the oldest of its kind, was built almost six centuries after the Holy Thorn bloomed at Glastonbury and Joseph of Arimathea established a tin business, according to some with Jesus himself, not far from here. And did those feet in ancient time Walk upon Englands mountains green: And was the holy Lamb of God, On Englands pleasant pastures seen! And did the Countenance Divine, Shine forth upon our clouded hills? And was Jerusalem builded here, Among these dark Satanic Mills? Bring me my Bow of burning gold: Bring me my arrows of desire: Bring me my Spear: O clouds unfold! Bring me my Chariot of fire! I will not cease from Mental Fight, Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand: Till we have built Jerusalem, In Englands green & pleasant Land. (William Blake) I think I prefer this version, which looks pretty real.
