The Gate of Remembrance The Story of the Psychological Experiment which Resulted in the Discovery of the Edgar Chapel at Glastonbury

The book follows a curious psychological experiment that began in the early 20th century at Glastonbury Abbey. Its author, a seasoned archaeologist, records how a series of seemingly random automatic writings—woven from fragments of Latin, Middle English and modern prose—were interpreted as clues to a hidden structure. By treating the mind as a vast archive of impressions, the narrative explains how subconscious vibrations could coax forgotten memories into coherent messages. The opening sections lay out the method and the puzzling language that sparked the investigation.

From that foundation the work moves into the first attempts to locate the mysterious Loretto Chapel, detailing the careful excavation and the surprising alignment of the script with physical findings. Along the way, readers encounter a blend of scholarly insight, speculative psychology, and vivid description of the ancient abbey’s stone and spirit. The account invites listeners to share in the wonder of uncovering history through an unexpected dialogue between mind and stone.
