Abstract
A Preliminary Survey of the Bridestones, Congleton, and Related Monuments
Margaret Dunlop
14 - 31
The Bridestones is a Neolithic site representing one of the few megalithic monuments of Cheshire. Historically many stones had been removed from the site, whilst others had fallen or been damaged. The monument had recently come under the protection of the Ancient Monuments Board, and this research was undertaken in 1936 and 1937 with a view to its restoration. Antiquarian accounts are presented, and the excavation undertaken during the 1930s project is described. Examples of comparable monuments across Britain and Europe are discussed. LD
The Cock-fighting Tables at Lymm Hall, Cheshire
John Thomas D'Ewart
117 - 118
Short article describing two cock-fighting 'tables' situated within adjacent hollows at Lymm Hall, Cheshire. These are 24 and 27 inches high respectively and resemble mushrooms, comprising an oval slab of stone standing upon a stone pillar. The remains of iron rods are also present. The potential use of the tables is discussed and it is suggested that they were perhaps used for exhibition, allowing the cocks to be examined by potential purchasers or backers. Cocks are known to have been bred for sale at Lymm Hall. LD
Friends' Disused Burial Grounds in Lancashire
Robert Muschamp
131 - 139
Article identifying disused Friends' burial grounds in Lancashire. These are listed by district with brief notes on each site, including mention of historical connections. A short introduction gives the background to the establishment of Friends' burial grounds as an alternative to churchyard burial where a service would need to be read by a priest. LD
On Dating Old Horse-shoes
Gordon R Ward
140 - 175
The object of this paper is to describe and comment upon the series of ancient horse-shoes in the Hull Museums, and to establish a scheme and a standard by which the age of horse-shoes may be judged. The author explains how it is that the age of these objects is very often misattributed by both the layman and the museum curator, gives detailed advice on how to remove rust from horse-shoes, and indicates the principal features by which specimens may be dated. The four main groups of horse-shoe types are then described, with subsequent sections giving further details of each group and its sub-types. LD
