No one said they weren't interested in standing stones in graveyards or stones incorporated into buildings, just not pictures of churches.

I could easily get together a list of over a thousand Irish church ruins that are almost certainly built on earlier pagan places, but I don't see how they fit in with the ethos of TMA. Would the megalithic portal let them in? I think not.

A site dedicated to them would be fascinating and I personally include Early Christian stuff on magalithomania because of the reasons we have stated, but TMA ain't about that. Is it?

I'll start collecting material for a new site.
I'm remembering slides I haven't seen for ages.
During a renovation at a church in Devon the masons moved a stone away from the wall to find ancient carvings on the other side of it!
Stoke Gabriel has a huge yew with a ring of stones around its base. The church foundations are built over its roots it's so old (About 2,000 yrs)
The church in Marborough college is built on a henge which Stukeley drew etc.
Something else to keep me busy...
