Last week I went on a bike ride with no particular destination, and ended up in a tiny village near Pocklington called Nunburnholme . There are so many old churches here in East Yorkshire! The village church and graveyard looked old and interesting: Nobody else was around and the church was locked. A sign on the door said to ask to borrow the church key from Rose Cottage, so I did. Here's Rose Cottage, just up the road a few yards: A friendly older woman opened the door, gave me the key, and said I could put it in the mail drop when I was done. The inside of the church was quiet except for the wind and birds up in the rafters. Right near the door is a Norman-era arch dated to 1100-1140 that has carved human faces in various attitudes: And behind that is an Anglo-Saxon cross or stele that was rediscovered in 1873 during demolition of part of the church. It had been built into a wall, and is partially damaged due to that. Being Anglo-Saxon, it is thought to be from rough
