James Corden has said he would be 'happy to assist' the island of Jersey to create a 3D model of the prehistoric stone circle in his garden - after residents have given up hope of returning the ancient monument to its homeland.

The Druidic temple was gifted to the once-owner of Corden's £8.5 million Berkshire home in 1788 - and now the Channel Island wants access to the crucial part of their cultural history.

Politicians called for the chat show host, 44, to return the Neolithic dolmen in 2021, although residents are now resigned that it is not 'viable' for the monument to ever return to their shores.

The comedian from High Wycombe, 44, has hosted the US talk show for more than eight years, becoming a household name in the country and rubbing shoulder with Hollywood stars.

Mr Corden is preparing to come back to the UK after living in Los Angeles, USA while hosting The Late Late Show on American TV channel CBS.

There are indications that he has been preparing to reside in England long term for years, with him purchasing Templecombe House in Remenham, Berkshire in 2020.

The Mont De La Ville dolmen, a neolithic structure, was moved from its place of origin in St Helier, Jersey, to the home in the Wokingham borough back in 1788 - now Jersey politicians are calling for the chat show host to bring it back.

According to national media reports: "Representatives for the star said he would not oppose the stones being returned to Jersey - but he has no say in the matter. 

Curator of Archaeology Olga Finch at Jersey Heritage said: 'In principle, we would, of course, support the return of the Mont de la Ville dolmen – an important piece of Jersey's ancient history – to the Island.

"However, having looked into the possibility a couple of years ago, the expert advice we were given was that it was not a viable proposal. 

"The stones are Grade II Listed and the protection afforded to them by UK heritage bodies and legislation means that it is unlikely that permission would be granted to have them moved."

The Druid's temple currently resides in the 43-acre home belonging to Mr Corden, the home of which is currently valued at £8.5 million.

The structure was first given as a gift to Field Marshall Henry Seymour Conway, who shipped them to mainland England more than 230 years ago.

Field Marshall Conway received the gift, now a grade II listed monument, as a sign of thanks for helping the island construct defensive towers to prevent a French invasion.

According to the Daily Mail, Corden's representatives say they have not been contacted by any heritage organisations but would be 'happy to assist' them.
