Sandy Hobbs | Letter to Ambrose Merton # 7, 1996

Delgates at the Fourteenth International Conference on Contemporary Legend, held at the University of Bath in late July, 1996, dined out one night at the George pub, Bathampton. Returning by minibus after the meal, a comment was made on how hills Bath was. The driver replied that Bath, like Rhodes, was built on seven hills.
Bath is already on our list of torns “built on seven hills” (see, for exaple Letters 5:13) but it is nice to have evidence that the idea isstill in common currency. “Rhodes” is more puzzling. Was it a slip for “Rome”?
