This photograph of the knocker on the door at Brougham Hall, is submitted as a supplementary photo, as it is of some interest. Its partner is to be found on the door of Durham Cathedral Link.

Mayburgh Henge, northern part with standing-stone, Yanwath and Eamont Bridge

Mayburgh Henge consists of a single circular bank, up to 6.5 metres high, and 50m across its base, with a single entrance and enclosing a level area 90m dia. It contains a single monolith 2.8m high, one of eight that existed in the 18C, four in the centre and four at the entrance. The other seven were destroyed using gunpowder. The henge probably dates from between 2000 and 1000BC, and may have been a meeting place or refuge for a large prehistoric community.

The Eden Millennium Monument, Yanwath and Eamont Bridge

This 50t block of granite was transported here and erected on 2 July 2000. It is inscribed with an alpha and an omega, the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet signifying beginning and end, past and future. It is also inscribed with a cross and '2000' for 2000 years of Christianity. The site was chosen because of its proximity to Mayburgh Henge.

The Mansion House, Eamont Bridge, Yanwath and Eamont Bridge

This is Grade II* listed and has inscribed over the entrance 'R. & L.B. 1686' (Rolland Barrow, Rector of Brougham, and his wife.) The house was restored in 1977. A spiral stone staircase inside suggests that the house might have been first built before the 17C. The workhouse for the West Ward Poor Law Union was behind and alongside the house on the 1863 6" map.
