MYSTERY OBJECTS
Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
My first thought was a well, but couldn't think why there would be a top like that on it.

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
Dammit, a trick question to get me to admit I'm hanging around!
It's a Holy Well and very local to both Barlick and Earby. The top is formed from a millstone.

Wendy has it, The well at St Mary's church Thornton. Some while ago Wendy told me about some carved heads near the doorway to the church. I went over and found all sorts of inscriptions rebuilt into the walls. At the time I'm sure Wendy mentioned someone doing some research into the church.

Yup, she certainly did have it right..... (I wasn't trying to be tempting!)
See if this one tempts anyone.
What's going on here?

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS

It looks very familiar, it's not in Euxton near Chorley is it?
Cancel that suggestion, I thought it was Buckshaw Hall but it's not

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
No idea, all I can see is a big stone being dragged around. The wood looks like it takes some stick at the bottom. Just observations.

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
You've got it Gloria, well done. It's in Shirley's Bone mill at Etruria there's a kiln and bones were calcined in there and then ground in the mills by the arms pushing the bones round in water and reducing them to slurry, the 'bone' in bone china. Some flints were done in the same way and many of the bones were imported, there are some elephant bones that they kept for souvenirs, there are also stories about human bones from churchyards finding their way to the mill as well!
See THIS for a description of the mill.
Next for shaving?
