The Perpetual Choir
John Michell refers to an ancient ring of sites in southern Britain that provide a glimpse of a very different world.
The sites are marked in black, while the alphabet, in white, is superimposed.
Sadly, argument for this ring may be flawed, because, as Geoff Simmons shows at
www.awugabunnies.co.uk,
this was not a ring but a triad (Sarum/Salisbury, Glastonbury and Bangor Iscoed,
near Wrexham). Full revision is needed here therefore, but below is the story!
The Perpetual Choir
Ten sites form a decagon known originally as the Perpetual Choir. Recorded by Iolo Morganwg in his Triads of Britain, 'in each of these choirs
there were 2,400 saints; that is there were a hundred for every hour of th eday
and the night in rotation, perpetuating the praise and service of God without
rest or intermission.' The function of the choirs was to maintain the
enchantment of Britain.
The diameter line running through Llantwit Major to Croft Hill near Leicester
follows that of the midsummer sunrise, with the central point of all the choirs
at the Hereford, Worcester, Gloucester border hamlet of White Leaved Oak.
It is thought-provoking that not only is the central point of the choirs centred
on White Leaved Oak, but a mile to the north east is the village of Hollybush...
