About this item
Bexhill Observer, 29 October 1983. Letter from Derek Taylor, of Combermere Road, St Leonards-on-Sea, replying to the front-page report of 15 October on his wedding, item 156. He objects to the paper calling Alex Sanders self-styled King of the Witches: 'I was present when he was reconsecrated in 1979 as a Priest King', witnessed, he says, by over 200 witches. He adds, in fairness to the landlord, that the Bell Hotel is not a centre for witches but a place where they, like others, meet and talk, and thanks readers who sent congratulations. The claims about the 1979 ceremony are Taylor's.
