The Garden, a PJ Harvey Discussion Site

Found this... http://www.sheelanagig.org/index.html#h ... lebury.htm when trawling around. Read the piece and you will find Dr Sally P.J. Harvey, what's that all about?!

And then I found this... http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=-9w6 ... q=&f=false
No 9 and 17 on page 88, wait for it to download.

This can't be our Polly surely?

"For those of you who like odd coincidences... When I visited the church the second time I picked up a church guide which was written by Dr Sally P.J.Harvey. P.J Harvey of course wrote and sang the song Sheela Na Gig. It's also worth remarking that Dr Harvey mentions the figures only as "human" and does not describe them as exhibitionist in any way."

That is some coincidence!

Yeah, I remember coming across this before. The Domesday book is famous as one of the earliest records of England. It's where we get the term "doomsday" from.
