	The Woodland Trust - get in touch
		Abbots Wood was chosen as a millennium site and given a budget to raise a monument to celebrate the year 2000.
		The local chief tried to discourage Keyna by telling her that the wood was infested with snakes, but Keyna would not be dissuaded Some time later at her cell in the woods, Keyna showed the chief some ammonites and told him that they were the snakes he had warned her about.
		St Keyna had turned the serpents to stone and made the woods safe, hence Keynsham (Keyna's ham).In another version the serpents were metaphorical, Keynsham being somewhat a den of iniquity (although we prefer the first version!).

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Wood-Carving
		Objects carved from wood were frequently used for religious purposes in antiquity, especially by the Egyptians; the early statues of the gods were of wood.
		Originally the entire art of the Germans was expressed by work in wood; the churches were built almost entirely of wood, consequently, it may be assumed that most of the fittings of a church were of the same material.
		However, in Italy it is chiefly the choir-stalls, the thrones of the bishops and abbots, and the cupboards in the sacristies which prove the high artistic development of wood-carving.

		One day when he had been called to the castle the butler had shown him the marks of the soldiers' slugs in the wood of the door and had given him a piece of shortbread that the community ate.
		He remembered the summer evening he had been there to be dressed as boatbearer, the evening of the Procession to the little altar in the wood.
		There was the smell of evening in the air, the smell of the fields in the country where they digged up turnips to peel them and eat them when they went out for a walk to Major Barton's, the smell there was in the little wood beyond the pavilion where the gallnuts were.
