“TH” has also inscribed this one with what looks like a number 73

Ironopolis suggests this is Thomas Harewood of Glaisdale, who inscribed many stones in the area. Some of these are dated in the 1730s, so I suspect this originally carried a date from that decade and the last number has worn away (possibly 1733 if you squint)

One thought on “Another Guidestone, Glaisdale Head

  1. Hi Chris
    Stanhope White interprets this one as having a “medieval-type” base inscribed Whitby Road, E… Road, TH1735.
    Best guess at the E… would be Egton
