[Ian Pegler]

Griff Rhys Jones visited Aberystwyth as part of his Great Welsh Adventure series. This was shown on ITV in February last year, a few months before the Nanteos Cup was stolen.

Until recently, what remains of that blackened olive wood up has been kept at
Nantoes - now many seek in vain; may it soon be restored to the only rightful place for its
keeping, Glastonbury Abbey, from whence it came.

An interesting statement - especially in light of recent events!

However, there is no reason to suppose that the Nanteos Cup ever came from Glastonbury.

from In Search of the Holy Grail and the Precious Blood: A Travellers' Guide by Deike Begg, page 6:

"... but there is currently a move afoot to have the Nanteos Cup returned to Glastonbury..."

Also an interesting statement. What kind of "move" I wonder? By whom?
