The Round Table
It's funny how I have settled in a City with it's own HUGE Mandala!!
Budge over Sir Lancelot....
Although now known to have been constructed in the 14th Century, and repainted in its present form for King Henry VIII, the table has for centuries been venerated by generations of tourists as the mysterious table of the 'Once and Future King' Arthur.
The names of the 24 knights are written around the edge of the 5.5 metre diameter table, weighing 1200kg, surmounted by King Arthur on his throne.
The inscription round the centre of the Table and the names of the knights round the margin appear as follow:
This is the rownde table of kyng Arthur w(ith) xxiiii of his namyde knyattes.
S(ir) galahallt Sir Galahad
