They've clarified their position: http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/about/news/photography-and-stonehenge/ Basically, they only have a problem with people that take commercial photographs from their property. Which is an interesting question: taking photographs for Wikipedia means that they are available for commercial use, so should we be asking uploaders to make sure they have permission to release their photographs commercially?
