Amy Douglas, a storyteller from Bishop’s Castle, has spent much of her career keeping the oral tradition alive.She is a published author, a founding member of the Tales at the Edge storytelling club and runs spoken word events in-and-around the county. Known to be a great warrior, a leader and lover of his people, Edric led English rebellion against William the Conqueror during the Norman Conquest, which cost the French king dearly.
However, Edric never bent the knee to the French king and is thought of as the only Anglo-Saxon noble never to do so.After the disappearance of his fairy wife Godda, it has been said that Edric spent his last days in lamentation. He resides now under the Stiperstones, waiting patiently until England needs him once again.Wild Edric also has connections to the Long Mynd, in Church Stretton. Sometimes taking the form of a large black dog who roams the heathland or as the leader of The Wild Hunt.
But the young woman’s father overheard their plans. With a gun under his arm, he was the one who met the stable boy that night – and shot him dead, his body falling into the boat. Some young visitors take a look at the Devil's Chair on the Stiperstones in 1958. Picture: S.R. Turner
