If no one else does, I will try to start a new thread later dealing with the many
different possible models for Beckfoot.

Please do Claire, it's a topic of great interest to many TarBoarders and the
correct answer, as I'm sure AR intended, remains elusive.

Closely related to the above is the question of the layout of Ransome's
Beckfoot. We had a comprehensive discussion about this on TarBoard fairly
recently with many TarBoarders contributing to the thread. The problem that
arose was that we had no agreed definitions to start with. One TarBoarders
"kitchen door" was another's "garden door". There was some confusion as to
whether the front door was to the front (wherever that was, or to the side).
Although it would seem to have been easy to use compass directions to reduce
ambiguity, there were even different theories as to the way Beckfoot was
aligned. Now if only we had a Susan in our midst would could persuade us to
normalise our definitions BEFORE starting that debate, all would have been
sweetness and light!
