Waltire, Mr. [or Warltire]. 1770 — 95. Lectures upon 

 Stonehenge : [delivered in Salisbury, etc. ; but not published]. 



H. Wansey says that " Mr. Waltire, who wrote, and delivered lectures on 

 Stonehenge, endeavours to demonstrate that it has been immerged in the 

 sea twelve miles deep ; and that it was erected — judging by the precession 

 of the equinoxes — at least seventeen thousand years ago." 



See also Godfrey Higgins (1829), who gives a ground-plan (plate 3) of 

 Stonehenge from a model constructed by Waltire, and also (plate 4) his 

 " Stonehenge restored." Waltire taught that Stonehenge was not only a 

 temple, but that (in conjunction with the surrounding barrows) it formed 

 a planisphere, and was an astronomical observatory.
