‘It was my playground’: growing up in the shadow of Stonehenge

Daughter of 1930s Stonehenge custodian shares memories as part of English Heritage project

She recalls the skylarks soaring overhead and the dog violets in the woods, as well as her father's battles with moles and his all-night shifts when the druids arrived for midsummer celebrations.

Most of all Jean Grey, whose father, John Moffatt, was the custodian at Stonehenge in the 1930s, remembers the fun of the great stone circle being her extraordinary childhood playground.
