| Co-operation is a grand thing indeed. Were Early Medieval (current terminology for Dark Ages?) meeting/boundary stones often referred to as 'Blew Stones'? It's a question that has vaguely nagged me for some time now. The only other references I've found using that spelling on the web, are in relation to a book on Quakers being expelled from Newcastle, and John Leland's account of Cadbury Castle: http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/post/42025 Were the bluestones at Stonehenge ever spelled with the 'ew'? Is it just an old way to write 'Blue' or is it nowt to do with colour and means something else in Old English? Reply | with quote |  6th January 2006ce 00:34 In reply to: Re: Blue stone (PeterH) |
