STATEMENT FROM THE SUSSEX ARCHAEOLOGICAL SOCIETY:

The Sussex Archaeological Society would like to apologise to representatives of the Pagan Community, or any other individual or groups, who might have been offended by recent television filming on the Long Man of Wilmington. It was not the Society’s intention to cause offence. The Society is proud of its curation of the Long Man. In future the Society will consult representatives of the Pagan Community and other interested parties before sanctioning any significant activities.

It seems a shame to me that this issue has been hijacked by the pagan community (or aspects thereof). The real issue should surely be whether any damage has been done - not the feelings of a religious minority?

Excellent news!

Any progress with ITV and Trin and Sus?
