about

Theobalds Road is an ancient bridleway in Mid Sussex.
The pathway follows a ridgeway line linking prehistoric sites.
In the Romano-British period it may also of been used as a link to the Ouse Valley Way and the Greensand Way.
What remains of Theobalds Road are Holloways and Droveways along ancient hedgerows, copses, fields and meadows, with meandering streams and multiple footpaths looping away. There is a splendid Saxo-Norman Church, a few ancient houses and farms, a moat and the site of a roadside gibbet.

These are recordings made on and around Theobalds Road in January and February 2023. Made with a Samsung mic plugged into my phone and the recordings manipulated in a version of Ableton with added effects and music. Hopefully this captures some of the character of the area.

The Magic Man is Derick who relates the story of Jacobs Post and who I helped search, in vain, for the graves of the murdered Landlord, wife and the unnamed maid in St Peter and St Johns churchyard.

A sample from the vinyl single EP (found in a charity shop)
"English Church Music. Westminster Abbey Choir" released on Columbia, sometime in the early 1960's, is used on the track Church of St Peter and St John.
