- The team explore the ancient and mystical site of Stanton Drew in Somerset - one of the largest complex of prehistoric standing stones in England. The area is steeped in myth and legend, with stories of wedding parties being crashed by the devil and the people turned to stone!
Also - we find an octagonal toll house with some fighting hares on the roof and come across curious artwork both inside and outside the local church. Phil leads a trek into the hills and wonders whether the ancient Maes Knoll is actually a barrow as opposed to a hill fort whilst Rob is almost 47% sure he's found something!
This is a windy one... so join us as we get blown away by the sites and spots as The Past Finders come to Stanton Drew!
All songs and music by The Past Finders - we now have tunes available on all major streaming platforms. Check out www.thepastfinders.com for more info and to get access to blogs, photos and other things from the past.

That story about the Devil playing the fiddle and turning the wedding party to stone is quite typical of the Catholic Church turning people from pagan worship, or wanting anything to do with pagan sites.
Lying is supposed to be a sin, isn't it?
How do you know the story does not pre date the Catholic Church?
@@brendancoburn427 Um... in that part of the world, there was no Devil until Christianity popped up to guilt everyone out of pagan worship.
It's like the story of Mary Magdalene, in that we are told she was a prostitute, yet there is no record of that in the Bible.
The early Catholic Church were not pleased that there were Christian followers of MM, so they discredited her.
Thereafter the Roman church stood tall, slaughtering anyone who deviated from their doctrine, like the Cathars and Nestorians... until finally that infamous anti-semite Martin Luther picked up a hammer and nailed a piece of paper to a door.
For further thought, read up on who actually killed Jesus. Was it the Jews, as the church would have us believe, or was the Romans, who would later realize what bad press that was, and blame someone else?
