Description: | Druidism is a faith that focuses on a spiritual connection with the earth and with Britain's pre-Christian past. The 18th century saw a revival of Druidism as historians began discovering more about Celtic literature and Neolithic sites such as Stonehenge. In 1792 Primrose Hill was the site of the first modern Druid gathering. From the 1980s public access to Stonehenge became heavily restricted by English Heritage, and Primrose Hill and nearby Parliament Hill became popular assembly sites again. This procession is in celebration of the Summer Solstice and organised by the Council of British Druid Orders. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Hampstead Museum | Rights holder: | Nigel Sutton | Subjects: | Communities | Temporal: | 1995 | Source: | Burgh House and Hampstead Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
