I don't know what the spelling of King Arthur's burial place is, but the access guide spells the Twin Peaks version as Glastonberry Grove. The original question was why are they calling the lodges Glastonbury? I answered by saying that they weren't. Coop says, "Glastonberry, the legendary burial place of King Arthur." To me, this doesn't mean, "Glastonberry Grove is the black and white lodge." I think it simply means that Glastonberry happens to be the location of the gateway to the lodges. I don't see anything more to it than this although the King Arthur legend might lend some information as to why this might logically be the entrance. Rocky Giovinazzo
