The Westford Knight of Westford, MA, has a long and convoluted history since its first published mention in the late nineteenth century. The rock face’s punch carving has no known published records on its origin. For more than a century, imagination and pseudoscience built the modern mythology associated with it. That mythology continues to be discussed within the town of Westford, with some supporting that mythology as fact. The pseudoscience attached to the subject is largely disproved through lack of corroborating evidence and recent research. Now in its second edition, the goal of the work was to build a Westford-centric history, while providing an objective overview of the oft-debated subject.
