[Stones] So, is this what some think of our heritage?

[Ric]

oh dear, i fear some rather thorny posts form our
resident architects? [lol]

in terms of action, i think some thoughtfully penned
articles to the local media / press, initially in the
North Wiltshire region, perhaps underscored with some
token 'visits' to the monument

small scale but considered stuff

i seem to recall the restoration of Avebury began with
'angry letters to the Times', sort of thing?
