Instead he walked out of the Palace Theatre £6,600 lighter and the owner of Lot 15: “Stonehenge with about 30 acres, 2 rods, 37 perches of adjoining downland.” Chubb remarked to a local reporter that he had not intended to acquire the ancient stones “but while I was in the room, I thought a Salisbury man ought to buy it, and that is how it was done.” Asked if he had any plans for the stones, Chubb replied that he had not yet had time to think about it but wanted to assure the public that every means of “protecting Stonehenge…would be taken.” Find out more about this historic auction here\n
