Stanton Drew by Walt Jabsco

It was my idea the other week to go to Stanton Drew. I had never been before and we like to give Archie the dog a big walk on a Sunday. It was only when we got there a hour later, Cath's fears came to life because the sign on the gate read 'No Dogs' Stanton drew is obviously not looked after by the National Trust or English Heritage, there was a honesty box welded to the gate asking for £1 a visitor. There were also dairy cattle grazing in the field so obviously no dogs were allowed. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanton_Drew_stone_circles" rel="nofollow"> Here's the Wikipedia Page</a> for those that can be bothered on the strength of my 6 photographs. <i>&quot;Theories suggest the site was dedicated to funerary ritual. There are several local traditional stories about the megalithic complex. The best known tells how a wedding party was turned to stone: the party was held throughout Saturday, but a man clothed in black (the Devil in disguise) came and started to play his violin for the merrymakers after midnight, continuing into holy Sunday morning. When dawn broke, everybody had been turned to stone by the Demon: so the stone circles are the dancers, the avenues are the fiddlers and the Cove is the bride and the groom with the drunken churchman at their feet. They are still awaiting the Devil who promised to come back someday and play again for them</i>
