As we all know All the Antiquities were constructed well before there was any such notion of political boundries. Silbury, Stonehenge etc' is as English as Callanish or the Ring of Brodgar.

To be peculiarly English it would need to be from the period of the Norman Invasion to the Union on the Nations.

I suggest The Tower of London, or how about Holbein's portrait of 'Enery the 'Aitff?

Yes I do agree and have had a go elsewhere about prehistoric England. For the purposes of this little jaunt, I would suggest that prehistoric sites that are located in what we now call "England" may be acceptable. To the purist, England came into effect with Alfred I believe, so let's keep the nasty Normans out of it. I'll go along with Littlestone's oak tree or Nigel's White Horse
