William Danby was an English writer who rebuilt his family home of Swinton Park, near Masham in the North Riding of Yorkshire, in Gothick taste and recreated Stonehenge on his estate, as the "Druids' Temple". His house is now a hotel and his Stonehenge a picnickers' spot on nearby Forestry Commission land at Ilton.
