The Rollright Project
Sep. 5th, 2006 08:52 amMany of you have commented on my default userpic, which was taken at the Rollright Stones in Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire, in May.
At the time we were at the site, we didn't notice there had been vandalism damage to the site hut: we just figured it was not always open. But apparently, there was a fire in January, and the Rollright Trust, the group that takes care of the stones, can't afford to build a new hut. This morning, I read about The Rollright Project, and I thought I'd pass along the information to anybody who might have some interest in buying a CD or, if you're close enough, attending a benefit gig.
Of all the stone circles I've visited in England and Ireland and the US (yes, I've visited a stone circle in the US), the Rollright Stones are my favourite site. They are small, comfortable, homey and unspoiled, and I'm quite surprised that anybody would vandalise the caretaker's hut there. If you can, I urge you to contribute to the rebuilding of the hut. The Rollright Stones are the only stone circle in England not supported by National Trust or English Heritage.
