Description

120 pages. It is a great honour and a very real pleasure to be invited to write this foreword. Professor Rotherham’s outstanding historical work here combines the best in objective scholarship and erudition with am open and sensitive approach to the mystery and mythology that surround St. Nectan’s Glen. The information provided here enables the visitor to make the most of this truly delightful place. The derivation of the name “Nectan” involves not only the celebrated Christian saint, but refers back a further millennium to Nechtan, a benign water god from pagan times. In his far off days, there were said to be nine hazel trees-the traditional source of wisdom-growing around St. Nectan’s well. In addition to this gift of wisdom that is said to be bestowed on visitors to the Glen, there is a further gift of healing from the allegedly magical waters. In addition to its fascinating history and the myths and legends that surround the Glen, it is also an area of outstanding natural beauty, with an atmosphere that can only summed up with an ancient Greek word which , in English, would describe it as “A combination of the beautiful and the good”. By the Rev. Lionel Fanthorpe.
