1. Avebury Manor is an early 16th-century manor house, built on the site of a Benedictine Priory (which had been founded in 1114). Fragments of the original priory were later incorporated into the manor house.
2. As part of a BBC television series called ‘The Manor Reborn’, the furniture and objects now contained within the house are either newly recreated, or genuine antiques which have been restored by modern craftspeople.
3. The Keiller Parlour. Alexander Keiller was a wealthy archaeologist living at Avebury Manor from the 1930s. (The Stone Circle at Avebury owes much to his careful excavations and funding).
4. The Edwardian kitchen. The kitchen has always been the heart of this home and is one of the earliest parts of the building.
5. Avebury henge and stone circles are one of the greatest marvels of prehistoric Britain. Built and much altered during the Neolithic period, roughly between 2850 BC and 2200 BC, the henge survives as a huge circular bank and ditch, encircling an area that includes part of Avebury village.
6. Within the henge is the largest stone circle in Britain - originally of about 100 stones - which in turn encloses two smaller stone circles.
