I am writing a novel, well, I am trying to.It is set in the 14th century, and part of it takes place in Lincolnshire. I live in the USA and my only knowledge of Lincolnshire, other than a single trip in 2000 comes from books and the websites.My family is reportedly from Lincolnshire but I have never found a verifiable link. I was wondering if I could ask you questions regarding history, geography, customs, etc? Rod

Your response, believe it or not, caused the filters on the school network to jump in and prevent me from reading it this morning! I check things daily when I get to work such as e-mails, fora, blogs etc. but the filter system, which is of course only simple software, has a wordlist of something like 800 taboo words and their variants to which it reacts. Being on a school system it errs on the cautious side. As we all know, many everyday simple words such as doll, bird, tart and so on have <i>double entendres</i>if taken out of context. Today's knee-jerk reaction was <b>'pretty'</b> would you believe :roll: So, if there is anything you want to keep me in suspense over, you know what to casually toss, ( :oops: there we go again!) into conversations! Embarrassedly yours, N :twisted: le Rod,

I've got one of Addison's books somewhere but I don't think I've read it yet - my Templar book reading pile is backlogged with a least 10 books ! So many books to read and so few years in which to do it Malcolm Barber The New knighthood is worth a read - very dry but factual GA Campbell The Knights Templar is a good read but a little literary Anything with Michael Baigent's name attached to it is, of course, unmissable Best Rod Neville,

This is rapidly being rectified however by your interest in it. My reference was sourced from C. G. Addison - are you familiar with him? Regards, N :twisted: le Thanks Rod,

I believe it just simply became the style that most were carved in - I suspect it must have had some meaning initially but subsequently I think it became de rigueur. It's worth some more looking into though I think, I imagine much will depend on the date Best Rod Neville,
