It's also visible from the visitor path when the light is in the right direction and it's suggested that it dates from the late 16th or early 17th century based on the style of lettering. Perhaps the earliest non-prehistoric carving is the line that reads “IOH : LVD : DEFERRE” and which is carved across the inner face of Stone 53. Less noticeable above and to the right is the name “TOM SENIOR” and the date “1817”, predating the more obvious “SEDGFIELD” carving which cuts through it. It's unknown who these names refer to, though one William Russell Sedgfield was an early photographer who was born in Devizes and one of his prints of Stonehenge dated to 1853 is held in the Royal Collection. Most obvious to the modern visitor as they walk along the path to the west of the monument are the words “SEDGFIELD” (or “SEDGFIELDS”) and “ANSTIE” on two lines on the face of stone 23.
There is a story, perhaps apocryphal, that the blacksmiths in Amesbury used to rent hammers and chisels to passing visitors, but whether the tourists brought along their own tools or borrowed them the evidence of hundreds of years of graffiti carving is plain to see. Sadly for the monument, other people – presumably with better hammers and greater strength – have been able to break off fragments and carve their names into the stones over the centuries since it re-emerged into the pubic consciousness as a destination worthy of a visit. The historian John Evelyn visited Stonehenge in 1654 and wrote that he found the stones “so exceedingly hard, that all my strength with a hammer could not break a fragment.”
