"... these relics ... have been wrought by hands which have for many ages passed into the dust of oblivion; they are specimens of a civilisation which gleams across the dark pages of the world's ancient history with the force of a sunbeam; and they have remained intact by time, whilst of the sleeping warriors and mighty men by whose dead bodies they were placed, all that was mortal has long since passed away".
(A Whitsuntide Ramble to Capesthorne Park, 1850.)
