Needles Eye

There's a batch from the Elsecar Heritage Museum, but I'll add those later (maybe tomorrow evening)

Beverley Sanctuary Stones. Marking the ancient boundaries of asylum around Beverley Minster.


A HAVEN FOR CRIMINALS OF all stripes, the sanctuary stones of Beverley marked an ancient boundary inside of which thieves and brigands could escape the law.

Legend has it that King Athelstan granted Beverley sanctuary for the otherworldly assistance of St. John of Beverley in winning the battle of Brunanburh in 937. The battle made Athelstan the first king of all Britain, and sanctuary extended for a mile around the the saint’s tomb.

Without wanting to divert the thread, the stories around the battle of Brunanburh make interesting reading.

Partial ghost sign recently revealed by the demolition of a little old barber's shop in Netherfield, Nottingham.

Can't make out what the rest of the sign said; the overpainting was too thorough.
Opposite the Fox and Hounds pub, next to Netherfield station: Fox and Hounds © Alan Murray-Rust :: Geograph Britain and Ireland

I have absolutely no idea where this sign is as found it on the interweb and you can buy one on Amozon for £21.95.....

Travelling there, via Thirsk, etc...
Back via; Newburgh Priory, Wass, Bylands Abbey, Ampleforth, Gilling East
Calling in at York

We've been there before, a few years ago (March 2008), friends of ours got married at Newburgh Priory, & the reception was at the Fauconburgh
