and while I’m feeling totally miserable about this, the Barn Gallery at Avebury needs around £80,000 for a new thatch roof.
I'm sure the NT can just about cover it, what with the £5 parking charge, shop and restaurant profits?

It’s a museum (and not a very well attended one at that). When push comes to shove places like museums are the first to go. The NT can rake in their 5 quid a bash without having to spend it on the upkeep of the Barn Gallery – and probably will.
