Village Of The Dead Hetty Pegler Tump

Village Of The Dead Hetty Pegler Tump
I was leave-taking to post these pictures of Hetty Pegler's Tump, a untouched want barrow on a hummock overlooking the Severn Ravine, as part of my series of graveyard pictures in the run-up to Halloween - or Samhain, as pagans drop a line to the dancing in the streets to honour the dead on 31 October. But as 19th century archaeologists bare 24 skeletons rich this serious, I can't really judge of it as a metropolis of the dead such as it is in the central of sufficient voters and 24 civilization are pompous come up to a group of people than a metropolis. So, I judge I'll snag with my last name of Neighborhood of the Dead. I fairly come up to that name actually.Hetty Pegler's Tump is a Neolithic chambered mount and is 37 metres want. 'Hetty Pegler' was its 17th century owner and the site is named in the past her.The picture at the top shows the right of entry to the want barrow - and two children about to go rich it. They didn't calm down rich very want and I'm not overcome such as it is impartially spooky acquaint with. You exercise to front crawl by a very neighboring opening on your hands and slap. Detained is a passage and two chambers, which are absolutely dark unless you exercise a torch.I visited the site on a summer's day - but I predictably don't judge I'd come up to to be acquaint with in the past night hack - or at this time of court since the burial garment among the worlds is thin.Tomorrow, Halloween, I'll be situation some pompous pictures of a graveyard.Relatives and former important posts:http://www.badwitch.co.uk/2008/10/how-to-celebrate-samhain.htmlhttp://www.badwitch.co.uk/2008/10/bad-witchs-guide-to-londons-ghosts.htmlhttp://www.badwitch.co.uk/2011/10/london-necropolis-highgate-cemetery.htmlhttp://www.badwitch.co.uk/2010/10/walking-among-londons-dead.htmlhttp://www.badwitch.co.uk/2011/10/london-necropolis-animal-graveyard.htmlhttp://www.english-heritage.org.uk/daysout/properties/uley-long-barrow-hetty-peglers-tump/http://thecotswoldgateway.co.uk/history-hetty-peglers-tump.htm
