The Split Grey Goose Feather

Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, England (map) Dated: 1646 - 1649
A feather may seem a very unimportant thing. However, at one time people used them to write with, to fill duvets and pillows and, on one occasion, the life of a king may even have depended on a simple, grey, goose feather!

Regarding the Grey Goose Feather legends, Gordon Phillips, who runs
workshops to teach traditional Fen dancing, (http://www.ourworldfestivals.com/)has been informed by two different
children, one in Littleport and the other in Benwick, that they had
found a grey goose feather amongst the possessions of their great
grandfathers after their death, but had, until then, no idea of the
significance! www.tellinghistory.co.uk
