So the aerial photographs are of Hopton Camp/Hopton Barracks - which later became the APC (Army Pay Centre). My uncle did his National Service there, for the Army Pay Corps, in the early 1950s. I served in the Territorial Army with 1st Bn Wessex Regt, at Le Marchant Barracks next door, in the 80s/90s. I had an office on the first floor of the main building, which has now been converted to someone's flat. We used to practice for Remembrance parades (in the Marketplace) on some of the old Hopton Barracks land across the road (now industrial buildings). The pictures of the wartime parades in the Marketplace make me recall the parades we held, e.g. when given the Freedom of Devizes (1990, IIRC?). Some of the old red brick terraced cottages on London Road opposite Le Marchant were built with the barracks and owned by the MoD (as was the married patch, out in the old Hopton Camp area). These have all now been sold off, but at least one cottage was tied for whoever was serving as RSM at Le Marchant. I remember our Chief Clerk, a quiet, unassuming man who was one of the permanent staff at the barracks, was an ex-Gloster who had survived the Battle of the Imjin River, in Korea.

14:06 - before the end of December 1943, Imber Village had been fully evacuated and taken over for military training. The ~150 villagers were never to return.

Well seemed to me it’s obvious why you would use dairy more in the UK. Rickets, even if the weather is sunny it might be cold, no skin exposure. While you might be intolerant the benefits of vitamin D outweigh upset stomach. You have probably never seen someone with rickets. Bowed legs. Also cattle can be farmed without the manpower needed to grow grains. So after plagues people probably relied more on livestock.

Excellent presentation thank you - a real shame I missed the show. When we stopped at the Westbury white horse I'm pretty sure it was faced with concrete! Looked pretty alarming. Wonder when that happened? When I passed through Marlborough recently I noticed from the road in the grounds of Marlborough college a mini Silbury hill. Looks like it's being uncovered and restored because there were many tree stumps on it and a spiral path to the top. Not sure if its a folly though

You may be interested to listen to this BBC Open Country programme about the White Horses - including Westbury - www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001zvwd The Marlborough Mound is Prehistoric - dating to roughly the same time as Silbury Hill.

@@WiltshireMuseumDevizes thank you for clarifying the Malborough mound. Must have been the Victorians then who turned it into a folly. Fancy leaving all those trees to grow into it ! I read somewhere the writer Bruce Chiatwin was a student at the college and he used to cycle to Avebury quite regularly , for what Paul Nash used to call the Genius Loci. I heard the radio 4 broadcast either very late or very early recently and recognised your voice and then you answered my question about Westbury. I've had a Ravillious Giglee print of the Sussex downland on my wall for many years now. I absolutely love it and a Nash lithograph print of the stone avenue and Silbury Hill bought at the Towner Art gallery in Eastbourne,

Archaeology does display clear evidence that the Neolithic in in the orkneys was much more formative for the surrounding cultures in Britain and persisted for far longer in the face of beaker expansion. In fact the beaker invasion as such never occurred in the orkneys. How likely is it that the high amount of EEF dna in the Orkneys is reflecting these facts?

No, it's research. Unless you want people to live in ignorance of the past and history and their forefathers. Also, the man and his accomplishments, legacy and wealth are better appreciated now than at any time in the last 4000 years. I doubt he would have any objection to being venerated in a museum as opposed to his grave being dug up by rabbits.

The language will tell you! Have a look at the Language the British language you are talking things that are not correct, I am 87 and my DNA was tested for the Stonehenge Skeletons I am from Ceredigion in my Ancestry, my father was also alive at that time as well, my DNA from Ceredigion is 94% Brythonic 2% Iberian 2% Gael the rest was similar to Basque, I had a Cornish GreatGrandmother who could speak fluent Cornish, but I do know from my father is that she could speak fluent Cymric in the 19th Century and in to the 20th Century Place names in Cornwall are old Cymric where not anglicised, Belgium and France contain names that are definitely Brythonic, Calais Morlais Arras Amiens Paris Lens Ypres Dieppe Carentan Caen Falaise Cambrai in Brittany hundreds of names including Brest which is the same as the Brythonic Bryste today Bristol, Nantes Gironde people of Brittany and Northern france spoke Gallois which they knew was the same as what you call Welsh, if you go to Turkey you have Galatea Ankara Ankyra ( Caerau) Gaer Brynte Beliglas, in Italy you have Milan Turin Venice Caeri Veniti in Switzerland the Helvetia was the same as the Elfet of Britain ( Prydein) Buda in Hungary means Victory in Cymru it is Buddug or BODVOC ( this is found on coinage from 1000BC to 900AD ) means Boudicca VICTORY Rhone Rhein Rhondda Ronda ( They all mean the same) Gironde Camargue Trent Derwent Tweed Clyde ( Clwyd) Grey, Aberdeen Firth Forth Edin Glasgow Lanark Catterick Penrith Penge Avon Elgin Fal (Kirk) people in Gloucestershire Derbyshire Lincolnshire Cumbria Shropshire Devon Herefordshire Staffordshire Lancashire and some in Kent could speak Cymric in the 16th 17th and even up to the 20th Century. For crying out loud all of Britain spoke British and I am a Celt , it was Cymric and we Know it, Goidelic was NOT spoken in Britain, I speak Gaelic as well , about, the Roman Agricola fought a Battle at Brynnau Gwynion in which a Roman Legion Totally was Destroyed their Graves( 14000 Markers over) from Margam to Cowbridge proves that. Goiedelic was NOT spoken in Britain Pictish is what you call Welsh ( Picts are the what the Romas called the Pictones of Armorica they were British and please just look at place names in Scotland who are for crying out loud Irish Mixed with Norse and Saxons ,they know well that Picts were British they were the same as the Siluriae of Southern Wales and Devon and Cornwall the Dobunni were the Brothers of these peoples there are more Celtic Hillforts in Wales than in Ireland and the Rest of Britain put together fact. ( The name Picton is common in Wales) You are changing History. Population was high at the Time of the Roman influx mostly in the West, in Carmarthen they know that Greeks and Etruscans were Trading over a 1000 BC for amber Iron Tin and Copper, we know that Iron smelting was done over 3500 Years ago Wales, Coal Iron Tin Lead Copper were abundant near the surface, we have a lineage of Kings that we know go back well over 1500BC Years, much of what is now Wales has not changed in 4000 Years Farming was done then, people lived long good lives, as for Colour my ancestors were white, My DNA does not show those genes you are talking about. I have taken in all your input but I cannot work it out, I know a Saxon is a German and I am not German, I know Irish are Gaelic and I am not Irish, I know I am Cymric and I speak the only Existing full Celtic Language. do not decry us, I will have to tell you that it was Common in Wales Cumbria and Cornwall and Devon for Children to be Breast fed by more than one Woman, they also were Washed every day for the Celts it is was religious unlike the Saxons we bathed and we used Tywelyn ( Towel) to dry ourselves all over Wales you find this we had warm clothing and Waterproof Clothing even the Saxons and the Romans before used our Methods. We have 3.8 Million Cymric speakers around the World. Quite Impressive I would say.

You might be wrong about Goidelic not being originally spoken in Britain. There is evidence that Goidelic is older and preexisting Brytonic and later the Brytonic came in from the continent. Goidelic is the older of the two.
