STONEHENGE NEWS
We are still
asking our guests not to visit the museum part of the visitor centre if they are offended by the Human Remains on display here.
We are still
putting pressure on English Heritage to remove them and put up an alternative display or reproductions, and to keep the world heritage site intact as paossible.
Unfortunately it
seems Victorian Values are more important than ethics to English Heritage in this situation!
