More about this scene
The centrepiece of West Burton's village green in Wensleydale is this stepped obelisk, dated 1802. In this photograph, a group of people all carrying walking sticks (perhaps they were ramblers?) take a rest on the steps, as the greystone cottages, now part of a Conservation Area, cluster around the greensward in the background.

Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
My great great great grandmother Margaret Wellock was born in this village in 1811. She married Mathew Edward Bywell from Middleham and lived most of her life in West Witton. She later lived in Aysgarth were she died and is buried in the churchyard there. I wonder if there are any Wellocks still living in the village.
