Katherine Maltwood

Katherine Emma Maltwood was an artist and became known as the discoverer of the Glastonbury Zodiac (otherwise known as the Temple of the Stars), an enormous geomantic creation surrounding the Tor at Glastonbury, Somerset, England.

Arising from her studies, a number of other similar zodiacal structures have been discovered within the European landscape.
