Britain is home to one of the largest and most varied collections of evidence for pre-Christian religious belief and ritual in the whole of Europe , and perhaps the greatest of all. This talk is designed to explain what that evidence is, and examine the problem of how to interpret it, with special reference to the most famous of all prehistoric monuments, Stonehenge, and one of the most celebrated of artefacts, the bog body called Lindow Man.
