More about this scene

Here we have a view of Carperby's village green, showing the market cross in the background. Two little girls pose obligingly for the camera. The village had its own market until the 14th century, when neighbouring Askrigg took over. However, it appears that Carperby's market was revived once again in the 17th century.
