Where now are the bones of wise Merlin

Today I visited Marlborough a small city in county of Wiltshire on the old main road from London to Bath. According to a legend the name of the town, Marlborough comes from Merlin’s barrow which is Silbury Hill about 8.0 km west of the town. I was lucky because it was a spectacular re-enactment of a Civil War battle of the Royalists’ capturing of the town in 1642 and a display of civilian life.
