Chalk Figures in The landscape
The Longman of Wilmington – restored in 1874, the present figure differs from the pre-restoration outline, he probably had a face and the poles could have been a scythe or an axe. In nearby Wilmington village, there are some large stone heads dating from the Celtic era, with one pagan head in a church wall.
