Just sort of moving on a bit, assuming that the Sanctuary is now pretty well dug to extinction with little or anything more to gain from it, would you like to see it re-instated with new stones to give it a similar look to that of Aubreys days to make it more visually satisfying?


There is another point to consider, the cafe opposite was demolished and the hotel that was going to replace it objected to, in part because of accidents and the dangerous junction. Rebuilding The Sanctuary would prove a considerable distraction, add to parking on the Rigeway. A lot to consider then and there is the very serious prospect of more yet accidents on this stretch between West Kennett and Clatford.:
