The origins and meaning of the figure have baffled archaeologists and historians for hundreds of years. Some are convinced that he’s prehistoric. Roman coins with a similar figure lead others to think he dates from the 4th or 5th centuries. An Anglo-Saxon origin has also been suggested. Or perhaps the Long Man is the work of an artistic monk from the nearby Wilmington Priory sometime between the 11th – 15th centuries. Nobody knows!

We’ve never heard of the Long Man before. What an interesting thing he is and such a cute town built up because of him.
It’s a fascinating place.
Beautiful images all. Thank you!
Happy WW 🤗
My pleasure, Carmen.
These happenings are truly incredible. You’re probably familiar with the movie “Signs”. Truly fascinating subject and incredible photos.
I am indeed. Nobody has suggested that aliens may be responsible, but it’s a thought!
Never heard of it but so very cool. What a charming place and you have to have a pint there. Very nice.
Something for everyone! Cheers!
That is definitely an interesting curiosity – I had never heard of the Wilmington Long Man before.
The town and the tavern look quite nice as well – would definitely stop for a pint!
You’d enjoy it I’m sure!
I have heard of the Wilmington Long Man but never been there. The village looks a lovely place.
It’s well worth a visit, Jackie.
I never saw the Long Man before, I had heard of it. I lived for a while near the White Horse of Uffington though.
That’s another wonderful site. Thanks for dropping by, Helen.
Hey! The Long Man is fascinating. I love all the pics!
