Chronicle: Romance in the Stones - the Curious Journeys of William Stukeley

on BBC Two England

In the early 18th century, when travel round Britain was far more hazardous than today, William Stukeley, doctor, vicar and 'antiquarian', journeyed far in his quest for standing stones. David Drew retraces his travels and tells the story of Stukeley's fascination with 'the stupendous fabric' of Avebury and 'the magnificent wonder' of Stonehenge - which he saw as a gigantic temple of the Druids.
