Found this book recently and I think it looks interesting enough to warrant a mention on this thread.
Also, for my own personal music projects, I have been inspired by the River Thames which flows nearby. Field recordings, place names and curiosities along its path.
Have been dipping into local Oxfordshire folklore a tad, and when my upcoming album eventually surfaces, it will be themed around such things as The Blowing Stone, Waylands Smithy and Wychwood Forest. Fun times.
