Log Text: Short walk down a right of way, was very overgrown when I visted but still lovely to see. The pump is a very good marker of where it is, since without knowing it was already there and what to look for I could've walked right past.
Figgy Dowdy's Well
Date Added: 1st May 2025

Figgy Dowdy's Well submitted by KiwiBetsy on 26th Aug 2006. According to RootsWeb.com, this well is also known as Maggy Figgy and Margery Daw and was a popular place to christen your doll on Good Friday. The well has been restored by the Carn Marth Preservation Group and is kept locked as a safety measure. I’m sure Figgy Dowdy would approve of this as the rhyme ….
Figgy Dowdy had a well
On the top of Carn Marth hill
And she locked it night and day
Lest they took her water away
…. is associated with the well.
To visit, ta...

Log Text: Visted for May Day/Kala' Me. Quiet and with gorgeous views, path was overgrown but visible & once down by the well it was silent except for birdsong. There was a small piece of slate tied to the bars that read "mîm dawes' well" - if anyone happens to know what that might mean I would love to know!
Four Parishes Rock
Date Added: 20th Feb 2023
Site Type: Sculptured Stone
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 19th Feb 2023. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 2
Four Parishes Rock submitted by Bladup on 4th Dec 2017. Four Parishes Rock, I believe the right hand side of this stone is a slightly different colour because it was once in the ground (for a long time), therefore making this a former Standing Stone. The weathering at the other end (left) is also going in the right direction if made when stood up. Ding Dong mine is visible on the right.

Great North Museum (Anglo Saxon Stones)
Date Added: 5th Nov 2022
Site Type: Museum
Country: England (Tyne and Wear)
Visited: Yes on 31st Oct 2022. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 5
Great North Museum (Anglo Saxon Stones) submitted by Anne T on 11th May 2018. This is the front of the Rothbury Cross head, described as one of the finest pieces of Anglo-Saxon sculpture from the Kingdom of Northumbria. It is carved with scenes of the crucifixion and other motifs. The museum sign says it was made about 100 years after the Lindisfarne Gospels but "clearly belongs to the same artistic tradition." From the collection of the Society of Antiquities of Newcastle upon Tyne. Submitted with the kind permission of the Great North Museum.

Log Text: Great collection of items - some were removed for the Lindisfarne Gospells exhibition in the Laing Art Gallery. (We had also visited that & they are absolutely stunning examples of carved crosses).

Great North Museum (Rock Art) submitted by Anne T on 10th May 2018. On display in a case in the Prehistoric display on the ground floor. Comparing photographs, I think this is Fowberry Moor Farm, Island/Deershed Plantation Panel, ERA-1842, Beckensall 179. The panel is stained dark red due to peat staining.

Log Text: Delightful stone in a stunning cathedral. Had to ask at the informational desk if I could see it due to a flower show but the staff are friendly and all too eager to show it to visitors. There's still a lot of mystery surrounding it apparently, and it's not the only stone of it's age in the church - there's a piece of anglo-saxon knotwork built into one of the columns near another informational sign in the south transept.
