Sebastian’s London: Camlet Moat




I’ve been thinking about starting something new: every once and a while, I'd like to write a profile of one of the London sites that appear in the Sebastian series. The obvious place to start is with Camlet Moat, which figures so prominently in When Maidens Mourn. Now just a shady, half-forgotten moat surrounding an abandoned island, it was once something much grander.

Much of the history of Camlet Moat is lost in time. What we do know is that “Camlet” is an abbreviation of its original name, “Camelot,” that its origins date back to before the time when King Arthur may or may not have lived, and that there is something undeniably special about the site.
For such a seemingly insignificant place, Camlet Moat has an intriguing number of weird associations. Yes, there really is an old well on the island, said to be associated with the grail maidens of yore. Sir Geoffrey de Mandeville really did own the castle or fortified house that once stood there, and the tales of his hidden treasure and the moat’s link to the mysteries of the Knights Templar persist to this day. It was once part of a royal forest hunted by Queen Elizabeth and, later, the infamous highwayman Dick Turpin did hang out here when not barking out his famous cry, “Stand and deliver!” Why the place isn’t better known is beyond me.

At any rate, Camlet Moat still exists. If you travel to the northwest of London, you can even walk its quiet, sun-dappled banks because the old eighteen-century estate (much altered in the Victorian period, when Trent Place because Trent Park) is now open to the public. During World War II, captured Nazi generals were imprisoned here. You can’t make this stuff up…

Cool. I did not know a thing about this place. It would be cool to see something written up a about it. Maybe there will be "companion" to the Sebastian series and this will appear in it. :)

Love the idea of a "Travelers Guide to Sebatian and Hero's London"! And the serialization aspect is so very in keeping with the historical aspects of the novel ;-)

Re: Twitter -- am one of those who finds the "Twit" part of the name very apt.

Re: Facebook. Curmudgeonly of me, perhpas, but I never joined a sorority because I felt God gave me all the sisters I needed. Forfend throwing open the windows and doors to one and sundry! The luddite in me says "bah!" to the so-called privacy controls...

Many thanks for the info and insights into Camlet Moat. It looks beautiful and serene. The history and insights are fascinating. You're right--you just can't make this stuff up. It looks like an oblivious choice for romantic lovers to meet, the perfect assignation? I definitely would love to see and visit Camlet Moat someday (envisioning Hero and Sebastian spending some time there).....Thanks for the post.

Thanks for sharing. I think it is a great idea to occassionally do these about the different locations. Sabena

LOgailin, I've never actually seen it myself, since I only recently learned of its existence. Some day...

Sabena, yes, I think they're going to be fun.

Сложность таких ситуаций вторично и в часть, что вероломство – это мысль больше социальное, формирующееся в процессе возникновения взаимодействий «человек-среда». Ее восприятие существенно подчинено нашей внутренней (а точнее - «внутренне-общественной», сформированной у человека окружающим его социумом) цензуре. Иными словами, те воспринимаемые личностью с самого детства социальные проявления, которые Юнг называл «общественным бессознательным», закладывают в нашу внутреннюю цензуру то, сколько в данном социуме расценивается будто вероломство (и как испытание – однозначно осуждается), и то, наподобие «правильно» ее воспринимать. Довольно неоднократно те, кто обращается ко мне по поводу супружеской измены, дословно спрашивают: «И подобно я сейчас вынужден (должна) реагировать?»..
