He was a pioneer archaeologist, who recorded (often for the first time) numerous megalithic and other field monuments in southern England. He set out to compile county histories of both Wiltshire and Surrey, although both projects remained unfinished.Aubrey began work on compiling material for a natural historical and antiquarian study of Wiltshire in 1656, and later concentrated on the northern division of the county. He chose to divide the work into two separate projects, on the antiquities and the natural history of the county respectively. The work on the antiquities was largely finished by 1671 and a draft was deposited in the Ashmolean Museum in two manuscript volumes, whereupon he then turned to the county's natural history. Some of his interim observations were read to the Royal Society in 1668 and 1675-6. In 1685 Aubrey recast the work and it was effectively finished by 1690-91, In 1693 Aubrey asked his brother William Aubrey and Thomas Tanner to bring the project to completion, but despite their best intentions they failed to do so. The manuscript of the Naturall Historie remains with the Bodleian. ( Biog. information adapted from Wikipedia ) In the present book, John Britton selected from Aubrey's manuscripts " only such passages as directly or indirectly apply to the county of Wilts, or which comprise information really useful or interesting in itself." (from the Editor's preface).…
