| St Mary's Church (Walton) | Ancient Cross | England | Cumbria | Visited | 20th Aug 2017 | 3 | 3 | 5 | St. Mary's, Walton: Went to see a cross head, but found an 11th century market cross instead! This is a very pretty little village, and was on our way back to Stapleton to try to find the Bride’s Well (ran out of time last Thursday). We parked opposite the church on the side of the village green ... Read More |

| Hall Well (Irthington) | Holy Well or Sacred Spring | England | Cumbria | Visited | 20th Aug 2017 | 2 | 3 | 5 | Hall Well, Irthington: From Walton we made our way over to Irthington – not a planned visit, but because I saw the holy well and 2 mottes in close proximity in this village.
This small village (too large to be called a hamlet, but too small to be a good sized village) is obviously old. It’s ... Read More |

| Irthington Motte | Misc. Earthwork | England | Cumbria | Visited | 20th Aug 2017 | 2 | 3 | 5 | Irthington Motte, Cumbria: We continued walking down the lane which leads to the River Irthing. At first, nothing appeared to stand out as a motte, then I realised that the mound behind the fence, sitting between the farm and the builder’s yard was actually the motte.
Walking down nearer to th... Read More |

| Irthington Mill | Misc. Earthwork | England | Cumbria | Visited | 20th Aug 2017 | 2 | 3 | 5 | Irthington Mill 'motte or not?': Having spotted two mottes and a holy well just off the road we were travelling on to Carlisle, I asked to take a detour to find these. Whilst this is marked as a motte on the OS map, and certainly looked like one, I got home to find there is some debate about whethe... Read More |

| Bride's Well (Stapleton) | Holy Well or Sacred Spring | England | Cumbria | Visited | 20th Aug 2017 | -1 | 4 | Bride's Well, Stapleton: Now underneath a fallen tree? Having had to run away from this site to collect our cats from the vets after a very brief search for the well last Thursday, we went back armed with the GPS and OS map and found we’d been looking in the wrong direction.
I’d seen a set of... Read More |

| St Andrew's Well (Kirkandrews-on-Eden) | Holy Well or Sacred Spring | England | Cumbria | Visited | 20th Aug 2017 | 3 | 4 | 4 | St Andrew's Well, Kirkandrews-on-Eden: From Stapleton, we headed to junction 44 of the M6 and stopped for refreshments at Houghton Park Garden Centre, then set off via the A689 (western part of the bypass round Carlisle, turning right at the roundabout where the A689 joins Burgh Road. Kirkandrews i... Read More |

| King Edward's Monument | Cairn | England | Cumbria | Visited | 20th Aug 2017 | 3 | 4 | 4 | King Edward's Monument, Burgh-by-Sands: After having visited Beaumont, I was reluctant to go home without seeing something of the Solway, and looking across to Dumfries & Galloway, where we spent 12 years. When we last visited in February 2014 we were unable to get down the lane because it was so w... Read More |

| St Mary's Motte (Beaumont) | Misc. Earthwork | England | Cumbria | Visited | 20th Aug 2017 | 3 | 4 | 5 | St. Mary's Beaumont: Church built on a motte, on a milecastle on a possible Saxon camp: We came to try to see St. Ann’s Well, marked on the OS map as being just off the small triangular village green, but found it was in a private garden surrounded by either a tall hedge or other buildings, so the...
