The Hungry Prophet - The Legendary Sale of Robert Nixon

The story of Robert Nixon, the 'Cheshire Prophet’ starved to death by the king, was once the best known legend of the county, retold and republished dozens of times across the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Precisely who the man was however, has always been something of a mystery, with many assuming he was little more than a fairy tale. Yet research suggests that not only was Robert a real-life figure, but that his bizarre and tragic end might just have been a reality too.

In the Derbyshire village of Hathersage however, there is a story concerning Robin’s chief lieutenant Little John that intrigues more than most, centred on a grave that during an excavation 250 years ago, revealed the bones of a man who was over eight feet tall. Could it really be our famous figure in green? Mythstoric Journeys , the hardback anthology collection from Eli, is available here! Visit thelocalmythstorian.com…

التشغيل لاحقا التشغيل لاحقا قوائم إعجاب احبKnown as the father of science fiction, H.G. Wells is as famous today as he was in his heyday of the 1890s. What isn’t so well known however, is the time he spent as a younger man amidst the burgeoning industrial landscape of the Potteries; and how that experience helped inform the imagery of his best-known work, The War of the Worlds , and also change his own worldview forever.

Well-dressing is much loved local custom which enjoys an almost exclusive patronage in the county of Derbyshire. It’s origins are much debated and appear to be forever shrouded in the deep history of the region’s ancient past, yet when stripping away the layers of the tradition involved in the ceremony and pairing with the country’s Roman history, a startling possibility begins to emerge.

Something visitors may not be aware of however is the visit paid to the village by Parliamentarian forces on the last day of August in 1644, and its place at the centre of a genuinely hidden history of the English Civil War.

However, in balancing the brutal events of early Norman England together with the history of a key local family, not only can we better appreciate this often overlooked corner of medieval Cheshire, but perhaps for the first time, look to understand the story of Shipbrook Castle and its ties to a bloody revolt against King Henry IV.

Most retellings however, if not all, have simply sought to repeat the basics of the tale without looking deeper into the history of the protagonists within. When we do, and look to consider the legend within the context of its earliest form, we find a very different tale to tell, and one that is all the more fascinating for it.
