Part of the exquisite restoration recently completed at Avebury Manor, Wiltshire, England. Funded by the BBC for a new four part series entitled To the Manor Reborn.
Lt Col. Leopold Jenner and his wife Nora completely transformed a disused room here shortly after the First World War.
Alexander Keiller (1889–1955) was an archaeologist and businessman who worked on the site at Avebury in Wiltshire. He used his wealth to acquire a total of 950 acres (3.8 km2) of land for preservation, conducted excavations, re-erected stones on the site, and created a museum to interpret the site. He founded the Morven Institute of Archeological Research. In 1943 he sold the Avebury property to the National Trust.
First of quite a few images of the wonderful restoration job funded by the BBC.
