Stone and Brick

What is on view at Avebury now owes greatly to Keiller's mission to restore and recreate the henge, although it is much unfinished and indeed probably never could be, because the locals attacked the sarsen stones with fire and chisels until they provided handy building material.
John Aubrey recorded Avebury in some detail during the reign of Charles II, who took an interest in Aubrey's work. After that, the destruction became more wanton. Avebury fascinates, yet is only a shadow of what once stood on this site.
