Alexander Keiller Room, Avebury Manor, Wiltshire, England

Notes

Alexander Keiller (1889–1955) was an archaeologist and businessman who worked on the site at Avebury in Wiltshire. He used his wealth to acquire a total of 950 acres (3.8 km2) of land for preservation, conducted excavations, re-erected stones on the site, and created a museum to interpret the site. He founded the Morven Institute of Archeological Research. In 1943 he sold the Avebury property to the National Trust.
