Prestwich - Pres(s) (harass) + anagram of witch

Question Author

Thank you, but what's the 'swain is buried' bit?

aelmpvw

probably not relevant but the poet Charles Swain came from Prestwich?

Palgrave

That must be it. Thank you.

Lannerets are falcons

aelmpvw

(b)annerets are knights

JJ109

Lanneretes = falcons
arete = edge
nns = knights

dannyk13

And bannerets are knights,. ergo L(left) + (b)annerets

JJ109

try again!
Lannerets = falcons
L = left
NNs = knights (chess notation)
Arete = edge
but there is no anagram indicator for arete, so Ael's parsing is probably better!

dannyk13

jj I think losing the edge refers to bannerets losing the 'b' (edge)

JJ109

I am aware of that Danny - see my answer above where I stated that I thought Ael's parsing is better! Mine only "sort of" works , whilst Ael's does!

JJ we both posted at 12.00 so I did not see your post.
