hearsay:- |
Written by the rector, in the parish register, St Michael and All Angel's Church,
1669:- |
|
"Arthuret has its name from the famous King Arthur, King of the Ancient Britons, in
whose time there was a battle fought here, probably on the moor of the same name." |
||
The battle happened in the 6th century; 80000 men were slain according to legend. |
||
And it is claimed that Arthuret is the last resting place of King Arthur. |
