I like the mix twixt village and stones. Lots don't - often Americans. Perhaps they're more use to things being more organised.
But I think it looks nice visually. And its a better history lesson - you KNOW the stones are very old, much older than the oldest house. You don't get that hammered home if the site is isolated.
On the other hand, the village overdid it and took more than was seemly. The ancients had no right to hold that land forever, there are no freeholds, only tenancies for life, so we have to share our country with past and future generations and alter it no more than mere life tenants have a right to do.
Thus, I commence my sermon with calling for the lesson of Avebury to be applied to the imminent decision at Stonehenge....
