Re: Ringstone (Whaley Bridge) by Anonymous on Thursday, 05 October 2023

As no one else seems to have commented on this, I will give my two-penneth worth. I was at school with the daughter of the farm, and caravan site, that stands in that area, and visited often. It would have been in the 1960s. Although the name Ringstones is intriguing, I do not recall anyone mentioning the possibility that it comes from an actual stone ring being there. It's highly unlikely, considering the room there is there to build, that if one was there, anyone would have built over it! Lower down from the hill the farm stands on is a potentially ancient track, still in use. It goes from Furness Vale to Whaley Bridge, passing Yeardsley Hall and Hockley Hall, both important buildings when the area was Yeardsley cum Whaley.

Anyway. If there was a stone circle there, it's long lost in history.

Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road
