St Micxhaels sounded like it might be a cemetery.
I looked in a book of biographies
lucked out finding Alice Liddell and the biography ended with her final resting place. It also said her father and Dodson were close friends.

With 'Spriitual' are you trying to draw our attention to Caroll containing two l, whereas the normal usage only has one?

But if you took the second of the two i out of Spriitual you would get Spritual, which doesn't make sense either.

Rergarding his job there is something that clashes with the Spritual nature and the trust of the position he held and put him above suspicion (almost), the I is a pointer.

the biography of Alice hinted to this but I figured I would let someone else get the final points. I believe it has something to do with the psychological profile of Lewis Caroll.

Are you referring to the suggestion that Caroll's interest in Alice and her siblings was not entirely healthy?

Lime trees are also known as lindens, so I guess 'lime trees on a hill' must be the derivation of Lyndhurst?

shields were sometimes made of lime or linden wood as they were extremely flexable, saw a docco where they made a single piece shield from linden, fired an arrow at it, in slo-mo the shield flexed and warped and flicked the arrow away before settling back to its original shape
