Get it whilst you still can
A telephone box in a quiet village - a diminishing sight. What is more diminished is a telephone box with a telephone in it. This one does! However, there are notices inside that hang like an axe above it. See http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6544761 for a look at the impending doom for this equipment.

Egbert's Stone
Egbert's Stone is where King Alfred The Great changed the course of British history and firmly contributed to the establishment of Christendom here in fair Albion. It's a fantastic tale of courage and clarity of mind under extreme duress. But, are these the stones which once comprised the original structure, now resting here in a rough paddock at Kingston Deverill, next to the Norman Church of St. Mary the Virgin, that once marked the meeting place, up on nearby Court Hill, where Alfred pulled his fierce retaliatory Saxon militia together against the occupying Danes, who had betrayed a Christmastide ceasefire at Chippenham (imagine that), thereby causing the king to flee? I'd like to think so, although the likelihood is that the actual moot was near Alfred's Tower a few miles away at a convenient intersection of marching routes. The story is complex and so I thought to blog a synopsis:
