Monk’s Stone – Mounted 📜

This is a Saxon stone that may have originally formed the main shaft of the village cross. The story goes that a monk stole a pig’s head from Delaval Hall as he was travelling around the area. The head of the Delaval family caught up with him on horseback and beat him to death inside the Prior’s land. Lord Delaval had to repent for his sins and spent the rest of his life trying to make amends for this crime.
