Worth Matravers: Woodhenge The landlord of the Square & Compass erected this mini "Woodhenge" in one of the fields behind the village car park, and it caused a local outrage when Council officials asked for it to be removed as it breached planning regulations. That was in July 2015 and it was initially given until 4 September to be removed, but the Council agreed in January 2016 that it could remain for a further two years. The landlord, Mr Newman, said that as it was made of timber it had a limited life anyway.
