Included in this catalogue of horrors are "rollsrights" (FW: 005.30-1) and "aeropagods" (FW: 005.33). Both these are entered in VI.B. 15: the Rollright stones are found twice (VI.B. 15.56 & 144) and "aeropagods" (VI.B. 15.153). On the same page as the first citation of the Rollright stones is a citation of Penrith. This is not without consequence for both the first chapter and for VI.B. 15. On September 24, 1926, Joyce in a letter from Brussels, suggested to Harriet Weaver that she commission a piece for the Work in Progress. Since she was then staying near Penrith in Cornwall she suggested that Joyce deliver "one full length grave account of his esteemde Highness Rhaggrick O'Hoggnor's Hogg Tomb." She also sent Joyce some photos of the "Giant's Grave" at the Church of St. Andrew's in Penrith. Joyce replied to Weaver on the 8th of November from Paris and the following week sent her an early draft of the first paragraph as the fulfillment of the contract (JJII: 581-2; LI: 245-8).
Strangely enough, there is no mention of Penrith in the final text; the genius loci (as Mink calls it) has faded from the text. However the location of Cornwall was especially fortuitous as it was one of the pillars of Gaelic civilization and the location of Tristan's deception of King Mark. This part of the crypt fit well into the pre-existing scheme of the work (Hayman 1990, 13 n. 28).
