“I'm completely uninterested in the origins of Stonehenge. I don't care about the real story behind it or whether it should be saved or not. What I'm interested in is this: in the Victorian era, you could go there as an early cultural tourist and you were given a chisel to chip off a bit of the stones and take it with you.

That has a particular history and I think we rather lost it in the 19th Century, we became so much part of empire and colonialism, the language of the Church Of England still reflects that Victorian time. As the 20th Century developed, not surprisingly people left the church and I can see the church's role in losing people.” PeopleThinkingStillsI CanLostLeftLanguageChurchChristianityRolesCenturyParticularLosingEnglandEmpiresColonialism20th Century19th CenturyVictorianChurch Of EnglandVictorian Times Author:Alan Green

“The only acceptable way to solve ecological problems is if you can persuade people to have fewer children. In the Victorian times, there were families of 15 children. Someone like Edward Lear, he was the last of 21 children. And so what we have to think about is offering people the alternative choice. And in the West, that's what's happening. The birth rate has been dropping steadily and still is. I'm wanting human beings to be better off so they don't view children as an insurance for the future.” PeopleIfsThinkingWayHumansChildrenHas BeensStillsProblemLastsChoicesHuman BeingsViewsBirthHappeningsWestRateSolveAlternativesFewerAcceptableOfferingBetter OffDroppingEcologicalVictorianLearBirth RateVictorian Times Author:David Attenborough
