That’s impressive, and give Sanctuary’s comment that there are only eight stones in total, including the capstone, to deal with (at Trethevy) remedial work there wouldn’t be that difficult. The alternative really doesn’t bear thinking about – Cornwall's jewel in the crown in a heap, possibly with more than one of its stones broken, and fatalities or injuries to anyone there when it did come down.
