John Michell (1933-2009) was an author and esotericist known for synthesizing Alfred Watkins's alignments with numerology and sacred geometry in his 1969 book, *The View Over Atlantis*, transforming the practical ley line hypothesis into an esoteric concept. He co-founded the Research Into Lost Knowledge Organisation (RILKO) with Keith Critchlow and Mary Williams in 1969 and also founded the Anti-Metrification Board in 1970 to oppose metric system adoption in the UK.
