There was a scouring (the act of cleaning up the chalk lines, removing grass and weeds that grow up over the outlines) in Victorian times that only did the outer lines and respectable features - they refused to scour the willy, thus bowdlerising him.... When it was scoured again, about 50 years later, they put the willy back in, but it is possible that they made it a little bit bigger........, there is a school of thought that suggests a belly button that was "resting" on the top of the er..... willy, which became part of it instead.

The long man of Wilmington has no features and has been referred to as the hill skier.... Saw him yesterday, he really needs a scour, or else he will vanish. He isn't half as big or impressive as my mate at Cerne...

And did anyone who lived there/nearby ever go to a pub called the New Inn? 'Twas there I started my working career, back in 1979/1980. Ah, those were the days!
