	D.H. Lawrence (1885-1930)
		In the first week of January 1924 Lawrence travelled to Pontesbury, Shropshire, (while Frieda remained in London) to visit his friend Frederick Carter who was a mystic, painter and writer.
		He stayed for a few days and, during this time, presumably got to explore some of the local countryside including the bleak Stiperstones range topped by the Devil's Chair which had already been an influential symbol and setting for Mary Webb in her novel The golden arrow (1916).
		As setting for this story Lawrence used Pontesbury and the Stiperstones for the most significant scenes and indeed the setting is a vital element in the novel.
