#MuseumsUnlocked - Megalithic Architecture
Rev James Bulwer painted these atmospheric watercolour views of Stanton Drew, Somerset, in the 1820/30s. The structure had long been noted by antiquarians - the first detailed map and drawings had been made by William Stukeley in 1723.
This pen and ink drawing is titled ‘West View of Nine Ladies stone circle’ by British soldier and antiquarian Major Hayman Rooke (1723-1806).
Nine Ladies Stone Circle is located on Stanton Moor, Derbyshire.
