Prestwich - Pres(s) (harass) + anagram of witch
Question Author
Thank you, but what's the 'swain is buried' bit?
probably not relevant but the poet Charles Swain came from Prestwich?
That must be it. Thank you.
Lannerets are falcons
(b)annerets are knights
Lanneretes = falcons
arete = edge
nns = knights
And bannerets are knights,. ergo L(left) + (b)annerets
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!
jj I think losing the edge refers to bannerets losing the 'b' (edge)
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.
So no-one's on edge, the clue for 8d reads - "...losing the head"

Thank you everyone
