Seems to me that there is a whole history waiting to be uncovered about Wiltshire churches, and their siting on old stone/pagan sites.
Yes, and a good few of those churches run along the course of the Winterbourne as it winds its way to Avebury. I've always been puzzled why there are so many churches in such a concentrated area, and where the population must have been very small (perhaps the population was very strong in other ways ;-)
Forgot to mention, if anyone does go to the church of St Peter at Clyffe Pypard, follow the path at the side of the church, it will bring you out into a magical little meadow.
