OK, backtracking slightly. I am struggling with St. Andrews so I am trying to look again at the previous clues.

Does word two you must find mean we must use the second word from something, like duke? Or does it mean the second word is hidden, like a cryptic crossword clue where one word is hidden inside another or spans the back and front parts of two separate words? Or does it mean we are looking for the second word of the answer, which is what I (and I think a few others) originally concluded it to be.

*watches as brain dribbles out of left nostril*

:rotfl:

I've been reading the solutions to the old months quizzes and because of the type of thing in those ones I'm thinking we need to be using the second word of the solution to the line before, but whether that's

the fish scales, Woking Gaol, St. Paul's Cathedral, the Monument

or something completely different I'm really not sure!

I'm starting to think that trying to link it to the next line without finding the solution to the part before is what's holding us all back, because it gets us thinking on one wavelength and it's pretty hard to change that thinking afterwards! Like we're all trying to link it to

golf

, but what if the solution to the line before means that the next line is nothing to do with

golf

and only makes sense once we've found it. I hope that makes sense!

I'm trying to see if the other line links to anything else to do with truth at the moment, not getting anywhere though!

I wonder if they'd have more modern links in these clues??

You know if we take Paul from St. Paul's Cathedral? The show 'Flog It' is presented by Paul Martin?

on that thought

If we take St. Pauls as the correct location for finding the "Truth" you then googlemap St. Pauls and go to Street View the tag does not say "St. Paul's Cathedral", t says "London Cathedral".

Should we be looking for the second word of the locaton from the previous line then if the above is on the right track, the word would be Cathedral.

Googlng "Cathedral + Golf" takes you to Chchester Golf Club who have a Cathedral Course - and as a tie in to the final line (if homeward does mean returning to Derbyshre) Chichester Golf Club also owns Epson Golf Club.

I know I mentoned ths before and t may well be wrong but thought it worth a second look maybe.

I was thinking that perhaps because it says "word two you must find" rather than "you must find the second word" that perhaps we are looking for the word TWO somewhere.

Please has anyone managed to find a decent image of Wellington's statue in St. Pauls. I have not managed to find anything showing what is written on it.

Didn't uncover a statue but did come across this, not sure if it helps anyone as must admit I've been lost since the 2nd post

] At his funeral there was hardly any space to stand because of the number of people attending, and the effusive praise given him in Tennyson's "Ode on the Death of the Duke of Wellington" attests to his stature at the time of his death. He was buried in a sarcophagus of luxulyanite in St Paul's Cathedral next to Lord Nelson.
There is a lengthy account of his death, Lying in State and Funeral in Joseph Drew's biography of Wellington

This is the best I've found, though its not great, you can just about make out "Arthur Duke of Wellington" in the 5th pic

Just to throw a complete spanner in the works while going over first line I decided to search for Henry Starving and found this

HENRY HART

The Starving Time, Jamestown, 1610*
Only the moon saw him lick blood
From snow beneath the palisade, hold
Crystals to his lips like a priest
Steadying a chalice of wine.
Only the candle twisting on its wick
Saw him hook the pot over flames,
Lean over his wife with a knife
As if to kiss her on the table.
Nothing could cure his hunger.
He opened her belly the way his father
Cut through feathers of sick chickens
Outside their house in Gloucestershire.
He bundled the fetus in deerskin,
Sank it with stones through a hole
Chopped with an axe in the James River.
An owl hooted like a drowsy rooster.
With only flames as witnesses
He boiled pieces of her for the supper
He knew might be his last,
Then stared at grease on his hands

And asked the fire's ash: How else
Could I build God's paradise
In this frozen swamp? How else
Could our divided bodies become one?

*Some of the first settlers in Jamestown, Virginia, resorted to cannibalism during what became known as The Starving Time. This incident is based on an account given by a settler George Percy in his brief history: A True Relation of the proceedings and occurrents of moment which have hap'ned in Virginia from the time Sir Thomas Gates was shipwrack'd upon the Bermudes, anno 1609, until my departure out of the country, which was anno Domini 1612.

fits in with first line but not sure if it's relevant


Which then took me to this page on searching for George Percy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Percy
and this mentions Anne Floyd as his wife. Now going to search her, and I'm probably way off lol

This leads to A History of the House of Percy, more searching now . . .
leads me to this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Percy

That was the picture I found too, but I've just realised

that the second word (word two?) is 'First', maybe that's the word we need?!

Whilst it does seem to fit with the first line too, I'm pretty sure that what reniannen has worked out is right, all the pieces fit together for that bit so far!
