If you travel through Lyndhurst out north towards Cadnam on the A337, stopping off first to have a small look at Minstead, another very pretty village in the New Forest, which has a lot of history. Here the famous author of Sherlock Holmes, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is buried under a large tree at the back of the 13th century All Saints church. But we do not stop here too long, we pass on through and cross the main A31, looking right and left, taking care because of traffic, and pass the misplaced Rufus Stone. This is suppose to represent the place where King Rufus was killed by an arrow,, see my earlier post. Carrying on past and then come to where the Armada Tree once stood, also known as Rufus Tree.

I am a person with plenty of time on my hands. In the last couple of years I have started these blogs/posts mainly to speak my mind and generally release some pent-up frustration.
In my early years I played the guitar ( and still do) for several bands, covering various styles, rock and roll, country and middle of the road.I played as a soloist, writing my own songs, lyrics and poems, and started in folk clubs. So I thought this might be a good way to express myself and hope that I can pass on to other people. While I have been doing this I have also discovered other people whose writing I also like so am learning as I travel this road to discovery.
Update… Have now posted a few and received some good responses, and discovered other good pages. my music had become a little more prominent due to frequenting folk clubs and jamming sessions.
Thank you and Please enjoy..

Sherlock Holmes very famous indeed. A very interesting story @Gerry, I love his books 😛
I actually used to know his grandaughter very well back in the 70’s and the family,, and I believe they still do things in his name and all the reserved rights. thank you very much..;)
This article is very useful @Gerry, especially for us who do not know where the story Sherlock Holmes buried. About royalty from the copyrights, I guess they deserve. Keep writing @Gerr, thanks a lot
