I have in my library a copy of “Puttenham under the Hog’s Back’ by Ruth Dugmore. Published in 1972 by Philimore Press. At long last it has risen to the top of the pile of my required reading and I was interested to find the following: “In the seventh century England was divided up into…

Culverswell Barrow
The following Page is copied into Posts because it seems very few visitors look beyond the Posts and therefore miss this important finding which is crucial to the credibility of the pattern. The CROOKSBURY LINE at 232.32 degrees from North would appear to be aligned to the mid-winter sunset. At just over 7 Druid Miles…
St Nicholas Church, Compton
I now turn my attention to one of the most interesting sites – the church of St Nicholas in the village of Compton. The church is mainly Norman in construction with a Saxon tower to the West end. This church is unique in having a two-storey sanctuary above the chancel built in the 12th century….
Developments
After sifting through the numerous pages of calculations and speculations accumulated over years of intermittent research it became apparent that a decision must be made to settle on some criterion upon which all this data could be based. There were two lines which stood out from the others as extraordinary – the Newlands line…

I mention this cross-road for two reasons; firstly it is fairly unusual for a crossing of roads to be labelled as a cross, the possible implication being that it may…

Puttenham is a very special place for me with fond childhood memories of weekend visits to my father’s family home in the high street. It is a pretty village, linear with the church at the east end, lying at the foot of the south slope of the Hogs Back, now favoured by commuters enjoying the…
Added to Wanborough Church under CROOKSBURY LINE
On my last visit to Wanborough Church I noticed these strange carvings in the stonework of the north west corner. The recumbent stone can be seen on the ground beyond. They did not look modern and closer examination reveals other straight scratch marks to the left of the holes. Maybe of no significance but intriguing…
Badshot Lea Long Barrow
5/11/2014 The SEALE LINE at 270.5 degrees begins near Shere Church and passes close to Chilworth Priory. The true alignment begins at Shalford Church, which is on two other alignments, and passes through Puttenham Church and on to Seale Church. The line terminates at Badshot Lea Long Barrow which is marked on the Ordnance Survey…
