    Despite his arson attack on the abbey, the monks pardoned him.

    Hint 1: The nature of the crime is irrelevant.

    Hint 2: The name is in there.


    Not: Canterbury

    My head is spinning!  Nevertheless, I suspect there are enough letters in part of the clue to form an anagram of Edmondson Park.

    Cease thy cranial rotation, young man;  "monks pardoned" is indeed Edmondson Park heavily anagramatized.

    Faredodger, now back under his usual iron-clad self control, will delight us with his next offering.

    Thanks, Valvegear.

    So the name was in there, and the truth was out there.  I've settled down now, I think, down now I think, down now I think.  [Hits side of head with palm.]

    New clue:

    An ancient Greek in an awful mess.

    Amongst the mess of North Strathfield there lurks Aristotle.

    Very clever, Valvegear!  But not correct.

    I can't find an Aristotle railway station in Sydney.

    Could it be Plato hiding in Lapstone?

    He may have hidden there, but it's not the right answer.

    It isn't the sculptor named Phidias,
    Whose manners were most invidious.
    He carved Aphrodite
    Not wearing a nightie
    And startled the ultra fastidious.

    (Sorry - couldn't resist).

    Love it!  Not right, but brilliant.

    Further clue: Shakespeare

    This one seems to be stuck at a block post.

    All right, to get things going again, I'll rephrase the clue.  This doesn't negate the original.  If it hasn't resolved in three days, I'll offer to give up the answer and declare an open forum.

    A Shakespearean character in an awful mess.

    (I'm still chuckling about the sculptor.)

    Correct.  Minto it is.

    Thanks, Dodger.

    Sadly, none of milady's creams qualified as a clarified masque.

    That it is, Faredodger - twice for good measure ('creams qualified' and 'clarified masque'). Off you go!

    Sorry, but as it appears my laptop is going to need some attention, I may be without internet (or at least active internet) for a couple of days, and I don't think it would be fair of me to hold everyone up during that time.  I shall therefore abstain from offering another clue at this point and declare an open forum.  (I can hear the sighs of relief already.)

    Just hit it with a big hammer, but never use force.

    Is that the next cryptic?

    No - just basic engineering.

    If at first you don't succeed, use a bigger hammer - basic geology.

    Nobody having a go? OK; here's a quickie.

    Of course; Marayong is correct and now Faredodger keeps the ball rolling.

    I didn't have to hit the computer with a large hammer (tempting as it was), just buy a new one.

    Let the ball roll:

    It's not an Alvis badge; it's the wrong shape and colour.
