b'were held. The fact that it is on the least sunny side of the church, and low down where it would not catch the light, demonstrates its re-use, as does the fact that only half the usual carved dial is present. The other stone shows part of a carved outline of a cross, and may have been used previously on a tomb or horizontal surface. (see left)Close to these 2 marked stones, just to the right of the North door, is a stone bearing the carved initials RR and the date 1726. It should be possible to identify the culprit, although after all these years it adds interest to the stonework rather than representing the idle work of a vandal.References:F W Brooks (1952) Masons Marks (East Yorkshire Local History Society)Douglas Knoop & G P Jones (1933) The Mediaeval Mason. similar to a sundial, which would have been used inAn Economic History of English Stone Building in the the days before the church clock, to keep track ofLater Middle Ages and Early Modern Times (Manchester the time and to indicate the times at which servicesUniversity Press)Survey of Earthworks in Park Field near to Worsendale Road hedgeWendy GildingF or a Workshop held in September 2004from maps and photographs 1[see accompanying permission was obtained to survey the earthworksdetail from an aerial photographshowing the feature which run up the hillside just inside the hedge to thebetween points marked A and B].right of Worsendale Road. I undertook the task with Bill Williamson and Reece Jenner. There are two linear parallel banks, easily visible on the ground, and shown in the March picture of your 2005 Bishop Wilton calendar!We worked from the fence downhill. First we laid surveyors tape measures along the centre top of each bank. We then measured the distance between the tapes, and the maximum depth at 5 metre intervals. Both measurements were greater at the upper end, the maximum width being 4.20 metres decreasing to 3.37 metres before one side disappeared under the hedge. The depth varied from 40 cm to 37 cm to 22 cm deep, moving downhill, perhaps due to a gradual washing down of the topsoil by rain.The width seemed too great for a drainage ditch, and while it did not seem to be a typical track or holloway, we wondered if it might have been, with the road being re-routed at some time, in which case the banks could have been hedge-banks.We reported our findings and speculations back to the Group, but it was not until Mike Pratts presentation on Bishop Wilton from the Air 2, that it all fell into place with his evidence of the ditch and bank boundaries of the Archbishops Deer Park 1 Crown Copyright/MOD.
