  • Nanteos Cup: 'Holy Grail' Stolen from Sick Woman's Home
    http://www.independent.co.uk/news/ Adam Lusher Tuesday 15 July 2014 Nanteos Cup: 'Holy Grail' stolen from sick woman's home Medieval chroniclers claimed Joseph of Arimathea took it to Britain In what some might call a real-life quest for the Holy Grail, police were last night hunting burglars who stole a religious relic said to be the cup from which Christ drank at the Last Supper. West Mercia Police confirmed that the Nanteos Cup, a wooden bowl which may or may not have links to the Holy Land and the power to bestow eternal life, had been stolen in a burglary in Weston Under Penyard, a small village in Herefordshire. A police spokeswoman said: “I don’t want to say we are hunting the Holy Grail, but police are investigating the burglary. “The item stolen is known as the Nanteos Cup. If you do a bit of Googling, you will see some people think it is the Holy Grail.” According to legend – and Google - the cup was used by Joseph of Arimathea to catch Christ’s blood while interring Him in his tomb. Medieval chroniclers claimed Joseph took the cup to Britain and founded a line of guardians to keep it safe. It ended up in Nanteos Mansion near Aberystwyth, Wales, attracting visitors who drank from it, believing it had healing powers. It now measures 10cm by 8.5cm – after bits were nibbled off by the sick in the hope of a miracle cure. Belief in the cup’s holy powers appears to have persisted despite a 2004 television documentary in which experts found it dated from the 14th Century, some 1,400 years after the Cruxifiction.

  • Relic Thought to Be 'Holy Grail', Stolen in Burglary
    http://m.worcesternews.co.uk/news/ Relic thought to be 'Holy Grail', stolen in burglary Ancient relic, Nanteos Cup, once thought to be the legendary Holy Grail, stolen in burglary at Weston under Penyard, near Ross Updated on 8:25pm Tuesday 15th July 2014 in News AN ancient relic that was once thought to be the Holy Grail has been stolen from a house in Herefordshire. In the last few minutes, West Mercia Police has issued a statement saying that a wooden chalice, known as the Nanteos Cup, has been stolen in a bur4glary at Weston under Penyard, near Ross. The property was broken into between 9.30amon Monday, July 7, and 9.30am yesterday (Monday, July 14). The police name the Nanteos Cup as reported stolen, describing it as a dark wood cup kept in a blue velvet bag. According to Wikipedia, the Nanteos Cup is a medieval bowl, held for many years at Nanteos Mansion, near Aberystwyth, which legend claimed to be the Holy Grail. According to tradition, the Holy Grail was brought to Britain from the Holy Land by Joseph of Arimathea, who is said to have founded a religious settlement at Glastonbury. During the Dissolution of the Monasteries, some of the monks fled to Strata Florida Abbey in mid-Wales, bringing the relic with them. After that abbey closed, the cup ended up in the hands of the Powell family of Nanteos through marriage. The cup had a reputation for healing and people would drink water from it in the hope of curing their ailments. The Nanteos cup deteriorated greatly over the years and is no longer at the mansion, as it went with the last member of the Powell family when they moved out of Nanteos in the 1950s.

But following this anniversary there is some sad news, with the recent passing of our President, Jeanie, Countess of Carnarvon. Her energy, commitment and enthusiasm from the outset and throughout the evolution of the Festival have been fundamental to its success. The Duchess of Kent and I have seen the Festival grow from humble beginnings to an internationally renowned arts festival, having faced and overcome many obstacles along the way. Jeanie, Countess of Carnarvon, can be justly proud of the Festival’s achievements. Her legacy must surely be a Festival that continues to flourish as we embark on the next forty years. www.newburyspringfestival.org.uk 1 2019-NSF book.qxp_NSF programme book 23/04/2019 12:31 Page 2 Jeanie, Countess of Carnarvon MBE Founder and President 1935 - 2019 2 box office 0845 5218 218 2019-NSF book.qxp_NSF programme book 23/04/2019 12:31 Page 3 The Festival’s founder and president, Jeanie Countess of Carnarvon was a great and much loved lady who we will always remember for her inspirational support of Newbury Spring Festival and her gentle and gracious presence at so many events over the years.

    Bezant, J. in prep Treescapes and Landscapes: The Myth of the Wildwood and its place in the British Past, in Davies, P. (ed.) Modern Pagan Thought and Practice, Moon Books/John Hunt Publishing: Winchester. 1 Treescapes and Landscapes: The Myth of the Wildwood and its place in the British Past “The assumption…that Western culture has evolved by sloughing off its nature myths, they have, in fact, never gone away” Schama (1995:14). An 18th century Glamorgan poet, antiquary and literary forger pored through the histories of the Welsh who were the inheritors of ancient Druidic practice. Iolo Morgannwg found precious little to fit his narrative so he invented the missing elements passing it them off as scholarly discovery (Hutton, 2008:253-4). He shaped and manipulated history, tradition and the notion of place and landscape in order to create a series of Druidic festivals to fit his narrative of antiquity. Eco’s (2013: 431) consideration of ‘place’ also tells us that legendary lands depend on “ancient legends whose origins are lost in the mists of time”. Odd then, that many pagan, environmental and neo-eco groups typically adopt an ahistorical view of the human relationship with nature (Letcher 2001:156). Where the past is acknowledged, it is in reference to a “‘golden age,’ of a time when humanity lived in a Rousseau-like state of innocence, in a harmonious relationship with a benevolent nature” (ibid.). This paper is about the rich and complex past of the British landscape and its woodlands. It seeks to act as a signpost for those that engage with treescapes, the wildwood and myth and place and space.

  • IO Recognised at the International Opera Awards and Announces
    INDEPENDENT OPERA ANNOUNCES 2016 DIRECTOR FELLOWSHIP Polly Graham to direct Karl Amadeus Hartmann’s Simplicius Simplicissimus at Lilian Baylis Studio, Sadler’s Wells INDEPENDENT OPERA RECOGNISED AT THE 2016 INTERNATIONAL OPERA AWARDS Philanthropists of the Year – Bill & Judy Bollinger Polly Graham is today announced as winner of Independent Opera’s (IO) 2016 Director Fellowship. Nominated for the Fellowship by Michael McCarthy (Artistic Director, Music Theatre Wales) and Isabel Murphy (Director of Artistic Administration, Welsh National Opera), Polly will stage the UK première of Karl Amadeus Hartmann’s Simplicius Simplicissimus, in a new English translation by David Pountney, who also translated IO’s 2015 production of Biedermann and the Arsonists. In addition to financial support, Polly will receive mentoring from Pountney and Stephen Medcalf, both panellists during the selection process. Independent Opera will present Simplicius Simplicissimus at the Lilian Baylis Studio at Sadler’s Wells on 11, 15, 17 and 19 November 2016. A graduate of Trinity College, Dublin and the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts, Polly was Welsh National Opera’s first Genesis Assistant Director (2012-2014) and her recent work there has included directing Iain Bell’s A Christmas Carol and working as Associate Director on his new work, In Parenthesis. On winning the IO 2016 Director Fellowship, she said: “Independent Opera has given me wonderful encouragement from the start of the Fellowship; in supporting the production of Hartmann’s superb but little known opera, Simplicius Simplicissimus, they are allowing me to step into new territory and make work that I really believe in.” Independent Opera at Sadler’s Wells was founded in 2005 to serve as a platform for outstanding young artists in every discipline of opera.
