	Dr. Plot and the Amazing Double Sunset at Leek Staffordshire: by Kevin Kilburn
		This equally applies to one of Staffordshire's most notable curiosities, the double sunset seen from the churchyard of St. Edward the Confessor, at Leek in the Staffordshire Moorlands, north-east of the Potteries and a dozen miles south of Macclesfield, Cheshire.
		I could find no signs of similar prehistoric sites on recent Ordnance Survey maps of Leek, but I did discover that there was another alignment, a completely new finding, that lends weight to the idea that Leek was a place of sun worship in prehistoric times.
		In 1862, John Sleigh, in his 'History of the Ancient Parish of Leek, in Staffordshire', recorded that a large burial mound, "forty yards in diameter and six high" (38m x 5m), was excavated on what is now the Westwood estate.
