Stanton Drew Stones: A Night of Enchantment and Petrification The hauntingly beautiful image of Stanton Drew Stones, captured under the soft glow of moonlight, tells a tale as old as time itself. Located in the heart of Somerset, England, this ancient stone circle is celebrated in local folklore as the site where the members of a wedding party were lured by the devil to celebrate on the sabbath. As the story goes, the merriment of the wedding was in full swing when the devil appeared, enticing the revelers with his irresistible charm. Intrigued and enticed, the partygoers abandoned their celebration to join the devil in his dance. However, as the first light of dawn approached, the devil, true to his deceitful nature, left the partygoers stranded, turning them into stones as a cruel punishment for breaking the sacred Sabbath. The image of the Stanton Drew Stones, with their costumed figures frozen in time, captures the essence of this enchanting and chilling tale. The circular arrangement of the stones, some reaching up to 6 feet high, is a testament to the rich archaeological heritage of England. The stones, believed to date back to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, have been a source of fascination and intrigue for generations, inspiring countless stories and legends. As the moon casts its gentle light upon the stones, one can almost hear the faint strains of a fiddle playing in the background, echoing the merriment of that fateful night. The Stanton Drew Stones continue to captivate and enthrall visitors, offering a glimpse into the mystical world of ancient folklore and the enduring power of storytelling.
