Why The Green
Howards? |
St Mary's Richmond is the church of the the Green
Howards (Alexandra, Princess of Wales's Own Yorkshire
Regiment) which was frequently known as the Yorkshire
Regiment until the 1920's. It was first raised in Devon in
1688 during the Glorious Revolution to support King William III.
and served under various titles. The Green Howards was a line
infantry regiment.
From 1744 all regiments were named after their
colonel (Charles Howard's Regiment in our case) but when the
regiment joined the army in Flanders during the Austrian War of
Succession the named clashed with another regiment commanded by
Thomas Howard, so the regiments added to their name the colours
of their facings: Charles's became the Green Howards
while Thomas's became the Buff Howards.
In 1782 all foot regiments
were given a county title to aid recruiting, so the Green
Howards were retitled the 19th (1st Yorkshire Regiment of Foot).
The Roman Numeral XIX appears on the regiment's insignia.
In 2006 The Green Howards was combined with two
other Yorkshire based regiments to form The Yorkshire
Regiment

Why These
Reversed N's ? |
Visiting a clinic recently I saw a parking
restriction sign painted on the ground with the reversed N's
like those shown in the insciption above:
Ͷ. In the twenty first century the painter surely knew the
alphabet. Bur he used a stencil! And it's easy enough to use the
the wrong way round so producing an Ͷ, but very difficult to
correct it as the paint is hard to remove. Did the carver
perhaps use a stencil to reverse the N's although it seems he
sometimes got it right. |

Skelton-in-Cleveland - Old All Saint Church |
 |
This is the Old All Saints Church
which was build in 1787, replacing an earlier medieval church of
which only the chancel north wall remains. It was essentially
'The Squires' Church'. Population growth in the village led to
New Old Saints being built at the end of the village in the
1880's. Regular services in The Old Church ceased in the early
20th century. There was a fire in the Old Church in 1983,
following which it passed into the care of the Churches
Conservation Trust in 1986.
Monuments from earlier churches can be seen on the walls and in
'museum' fashion. |

Snape Castle - The Chapel |

Snape castle is situated in a village of
the same name. It began as a medieval castle but has been
converted into a manor house over the years. This is now a
private residence and not opne to the public. However the chapel
itself is open and is accessed by a footpath though the older,
partly ruined part of the castle. You can park on the road
directly outside. |

South
Cowton - St Mary |
 |
There is no actual village now of South
Cowton so you will neither find it on satnav nor map;
the church is cared for by the Churches Conservation
Trust. From the A1 take the
B1263 towards Darlington; on
the right you will see a sign 'Atley Fields. Adamson
Contractors.' Turn into this road - which is no more
than a track - and you will immediately see a wooden
sign 'Public Footpath. Historic Church'. Atley Fields is
marked on the Ordance Survey map. Follow the track along
a water meadow on your right for 800 yards and park
outside the church, which is unlocked. If you come to a
cross road leading to North Cowton to your left and East
Cowton to your right, you have travelled too far towards
Darlington. O/S Ref: NZ 293 026 |

Please note: the
information given in Pevsner (The Buildings of England:
Yorkshire, The North Riding 1966) is not only rather
vague but quite incorrect. I have checked various sources -
including the Victoria County History of the area - and read and
translated the various texts on the tablets. I believe the
information given above is the correct one. |
There are large number of stones of various
type in the church, many set into the wall. I have shown a
number of the most interesting below |
 |
 |
East Wall of the Porch
Special Note: Cross and shears (top left); the
cross head based on a three circle design appears to be a common
feature at Stanwick. Cross with sword (faint) bottom. |
West Wall of the Porch
Special Note: The slab on the top right shows
a cross, sword and shield; this is the top half, the
remaining part being set into the west wall of the south aisle.
(shown below) |
 |
 |
 |
Special Note: A slab of a
blacksmith. Note the horse shoe and two types of hammers, as
well as the sword. The cross head is partly built from horse
shoes, |
Special note: The chalice on the
fragment bottom left. A slab of a priest. |
Special note: The bottom half of
the slab shown above; here is the bottom of the sword and
shield, as well as a dagger and the base of the cross |

under his chin and his legs are crossed, this latter
