Re: The Original and Best is....

Do you mean the 1694 date? If so, it was the date that the Giant was cleaned at the expense of "three shillings". So the possibilities are that it was made a few years earlier, was never cleaned or no earlier cleanings were recorded. Bit open ended and disappointing that no archaeological dating was attempted. Still, I don't think anyone is going to hold out now for a prehistoric origin
