Jack in the green am I and master have I none, for whilst there are trees upon this land the woods shall be my home. To the seasons kings I bow my head as they do bow to me for my faces are as many as the leaves upon a tree

 

GAZETTEER

 

Major updates planned over the winter of 2009….Watch this space

 

We intend to make the Gazetteer the most comprehensive and accurate one ever produced. New sightings and additions/corrections to existing sightings are very gratefully received.  Please detail the Country, County, Place, location and age of the green man if possible. Photos, map references GPS  co-ordinates and any other information would also be appreciated if available. Any photos added to the flickr site will be copyrighted and credited to the original photographer.  We are also more than happy for members to join The Company of The Green Man flickr group and add their photos via the group pool, although pictures in the group pool cannot be as easily categorised as those on the main flickr site.

 

We would also be extremely grateful if anyone can add any missing details to any of the sightings already listed You can e-mail us at greenman@virgin.net

 

Original sources of sightings are detailed where possible. Where those sources have been books or other Gazetteers the abbreviations for those sources are detailed at the bottom of this page:

 

Counties detailed are currently a mix of old and new, we hope to categorise all sightings into their modern counties to make it easier for those wishing to locate them
