Thanks for that VBB, I've just listened to most of it. About eight minutes in Martin Symington talks about stone circles and 'sacred' stone places (Karl Marx's tomb gets a mention as well). Book looks good Sacred Britain though has been covered by many other writers from John Michell to Paul Devereaux.

Martin features Twickenham as 'sacred' - puts things in perspective I feel.

He also champions the Neasden temple, and he doesn't mean where Twiggy grew up.
