Market Cross, Newsham The base of the cross is most likely the 16th century original, but it was restored in 1828 and again in 1935. The bench hides the block of granite into which are fixed the iron loops of the 1828 village stocks. Across the road the bus for Richmond has just arrived.

Footbridge and ford over minor stream near Barningham A very substantial bridge for such a minor crossing! The stream seems to descend a shallow valley known as East Langbrough which is behind the camera position; its water flows onward to enter the River Greta.

Enclosure east of Cathaw Stoop Cathaw Stoop is a stone - boundary or direction giving - embedded into a wall beside a stile where a public footpath crosses into this enclosure. The path continues beside the wall on the left side of the 'field' which, unaccountably, is not classified as access land.

Gates at entry to Barningham Park A public footpath enters Barningham Park at its east side through one of the gates here - presumably the less grand one! The monument mounted in the wall commemorates the building of the wall, the creation of the deer park and the planting of trees between 1857 and 1859. Also mentioned is the erection of a model farm in 1863. All of these works were 'Designed and Executed by Augustus Sussex Milbank'... bet he had some help!
