Abstract
It would appear that the announcement of the impending sale of the Cerne Giant (see NATTJKE, May 22, p. 876) was due to a misunderstanding. The sale of Cerne Abbas property, which will take place on June 16, will include the remains of the famous Abbey and an Elizabethan farm-house; but the well-known hill ‘carving’ is not for sale. The Cerne Giant, we are reminded by the secretary of the National Trust, was presented to the National Trust in 1920 by Mr. A. E. Fox Pitt-Rivers and an endowment provided for its upkeep by Sir Henry Hoare.
