[Stones] The Erosion of Human Knowledge / Avebury

[littlestone]

"...i don't think we should wear it any longer: these people are denying us our heritage, Avebury belongs to the people not the faceless quangoes..."

Yes ric, I agree (also with Nigel above). I suppose those of us who do feel strongly about the issue could form a group and lobby for it (though there are so many lobby groups now I'm not sure how much success we'd have). Like you I'm specifically interested in the restoration of Avebury (Circle and Avenues). The politics of the place though are horrendous (from what I hear the residents don't want any more stones stood because, "That would attract more visitors." I wouldn't mind getting some sort of pro-restoration argument down on paper and working from that but I have no illusions that such a project would be a lifetime's work - probably years even to get just one stone stood.

Mind, that's better than doing nothing. If the great cathedrals of our land can be restored I see no reason why the Neolithic ones cannot also be treated with the same respect.
