The ley grazes the W end of the tower which is immediately adjacent to some form of ridged earthwork that runs down the W side of the churchyard and is topped by a Scots Pine - Watkin's tree of the ancient track. The present building is 15th century, but stands on the site of an earlier church. The ley goes SSE over Cleeve Hill and on the N slopes of the Mendips where Holy Trinity Church (47855932), Burrington crouches in the folds of the hills. Brockley is connected with stories of ghosts and underground tunnels. Nicholas' Church here (46606696) is mainly 13th century and stands in the park of Brockley Court along a track a quarter of a mile N of the A370. Our version of the ley is 21 miles long, 'Our version' because the line is said to start from Cadbury Camp passing through the precinct of Tickenham Church, but we cannot obtain this line with our map, according to which the ley passes too far to the E of these features. It is a development of research by Janet Roberts and John Mitchell, who has shown it to be part of a system of leys around Glastonbury defining the cryptic geometry of the 'New Jerusalem'. This ley passes through Glastonbury and the Tor, commencing in the N of what used to be Somerset (now Avon) through to Butleigh near the heart of the Glastonbury zodiac. As it happens, Glastonbury provides exactly this appearance in real life, with the whole area dominated by the extraordinary Glastonbury Tor - a sacred hill if ever there was one. The name of Glastonbury immediately conjures up images of King Arthur and mystic Avalon: a sacred centre shrouded in delicate mists.
