In memory of John Booth who died on this spot September 5th 1853. Aged 84. He was gamekeeper to Richard Hill Esq. of Thornton for 56 years.
Even with such a precise death date I can find no census records for him.
Richard Hill of Thornton Hall died himself just 2 years later.

Mass dials are a type of medieval sundial found on churches, they were used to show the time of services held during the day before the advent of clocks and watches.
They are also known as Scratch dials because many are scratched into the stone. The hole in the centre held a rod that cast a shadow, known as a gnomon.

It was designed by local artist Katie Ventress. The miner sits at a replica bait table made of laser-cut stainless steel, with a map of the mine on the table top.

This rock lies within the Wilton International Site, so cannot be viewed by the public.
The plaque says everything you need to know :-
This 3.8 ton piece of calcareous limestone (containing shells) was transported by glaciers and deposited on the Wilton site between 70,000 and 13,000 years ago.
Mick Garrett took this shot 14 years ago.
Although the rock hasn’t changed, the surroundings have.
Show on map On the corner of Walkers Row and Union Street, nestled next to a tumble drier vent is a fragment of Gisborough Priory. It actually looks like the base of a small column, perhaps from a window ?
Many chunks of the priory were reused across the town after the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1540, although how this one ended up in a relatively modern building is a mystery.
