Unfortunate that it took someone with a title to get himself printed and noticed, when all he is doing is reiterating everything that's been stated here for months, but at least he has a little more commonsense than some.


Aye, slumpy, but Lord Avebury is more than just someone with a title, he's as straight as they come. He's also a Buddhist, and his grandfather was a great admirer of Richard Jefferies (the Wiltshire writer and mystic). We could not hope to have a more sensitive and suitable champion for the conservation of Silbury.

One line in his letter to The Guardian says it all - it encompasses both the highest principles of conservation as well as respect for the spiritual dimension of the monument -

Lord Avebury wrote

Placing a foreign object in the monument offends conservation principles, as well as the spiritual beliefs of some people.
