I am going to start looking in the graveyard. The woodcut is dated 1749 so there should be local records.
Mike Pitts argued on TV that there is no limestone at stonehenge so it can't have come from there. But the other altar stone is a one off as well.
The Meridian TV interview is now up on the www.eternalidol.com website of you want a peek.

There are plenty of stone circles where just one of the stones has a non-local geology. Although it's about as far away from Stonehenge as it's possible to get, the little circle at Featherstone was ripped up and the stones deposited in a pile, which still remains. All the rocks, bar one, are the local sandstone, and the exceptional one is limestone, probably from four or five miles south.

I thought that some of the bluestones did not match up geologically anyway?
