"Talking of which, anybody know the nearest Sarsen drift to Waylands?
Where did those huge facade stones come from?"

Living in Ashbury (in a cotty with Sarsen foundations) and Waylands being my turn-around point on my evening walkies, I know this landscape very well. The nearest Sarsen drift is a huge deposit outside Ashdown House. That said, the whole area is littered with them. Neighbors/Farmers/Allotmentors constantly finding 6 to 10 footers in their patches. Good little crop in Winslow Combe too.

Hello all by the way. Timidly dipping a toe in the TMA pool after watching from the bank for a few years now. Taught and tempted me lots it has.

That's brilliant Craveness, thanks! And nice to see you here, I read these forums and looked at the site every day for years before I joined :)
