Frank Stevens

Frank Stevens was a British archaeologist and museum curator associated with Salisbury and the archaeology of Wiltshire. Sources available here identify him as a former curator of the Salisbury Museum, and material connected with Stonehenge: Today and Yesterday presents him specifically as curator of the Salisbury Museum.

He is most closely linked with Stonehenge: Today and Yesterday, a widely circulated early 20th-century guide to Stonehenge. The book explains the monument’s history, layout, and competing theories about its origins in a way intended for interested general readers rather than specialists alone.

Museum material also credits him with succeeding his father, Edward Stevens, as curator of the Salisbury and South Wiltshire Museum, and describes him as deeply committed to education. That background helps explain the plain, accessible style of his writing: it was shaped by someone who wanted archaeology to feel open and understandable to the public.
