Original sources of sightings are detailed where possible. Where those sources have been books or other Gazetteers the abbreviations for those sources are detailed below. The English counties detailed for each individual sighting are currently being revised to show “approximately” the Ceremonial counties of England. I am sure this will be understood by anyone who has looked into the changes that have been made to the counties of England over the years. I hope that simplifying the process by using (eventually) the 48 Ceremonial Counties as per 2009 (If anyone would like to take on the task of splitting Yorkshire correctly please contact me) we will at least all be looking in the same areas. I know I will never satisfy everyone (I’d still like to use Wessex!!) but unless another less complicated solution arises……I am also using the “old counties” or “preserved counties” of Wales and the 1975-1996 “Regions” of Scotland.

I am indebted to all of the following authors for treading the trail of the green man before me. It is due to them that I became fascinated by the enigma of the green man and began my quest to create the most detailed and accurate gazetteer produced. In particular Kathleen Basford, Ronald Millar and Clive Hicks provided me with wonderful resources and fuelled what has become a lifelong passion. I am also immensely grateful to Vanessa Piggott for her wonderful work correcting existing entries and adding new sightings to our gazetteer. I would like to thank John Ibbotson for assisting with the Welsh and Scottish sections of the Gazetteer and saving me from certain madness.
