Final Jeopardy Explanation – Wednesday, November 29 2023
In 1915, Stonehenge was in a state of disarray and was sold at auction to Cecil Chubb, a local man from Wiltshire. Chubb bought Stonehenge as a gift for his wife but later decided to donate it to the British government in 1918. This act of generosity was motivated by a desire to ensure the preservation of the site and to allow public access.
The site, which dates back to around 3000 BC, is a complex of standing stones set within earthworks and is located in the English county of Wiltshire. It is believed to have been constructed in several stages, with the earliest known structure being a circular ditch and bank, possibly built for religious or ceremonial purposes.
By the early 1900s, Stonehenge had suffered from neglect and vandalism, leading to concerns about its preservation. In 1915, Cecil Chubb purchased Stonehenge at an auction for £6,600. Reportedly, he made the purchase on a whim as a gift for his wife, but she was not pleased with it. Recognizing the site’s historical and cultural significance, Chubb decided to donate Stonehenge to the British government in 1918.
When Chubb handed it over to the government, he did so with conditions that included the care of the stones and access for the public. He requested that locals should have free access to the site, a policy that was in place for many years, though now an entry fee is charged for its upkeep and to manage tourism.
It is now one of the most famous landmarks in the United Kingdom and is considered a British cultural icon. It has been a legally protected Scheduled Ancient Monument since 1882 and was added to the UNESCO World Heritage Site list in 1986.
