All Saints' Church

Rudston, Yorkshire, England.

  THIS MONOLITH STANDING ALMOST 26FT ABOVE GROUND LEVEL

WAS HEWN AND BROUGHT HERE IN THE LATE NEOLITHIC PERIOD

POSSIBLY CIRCA 2000 BC

IT CONSISTS OF A SLAB OF MOOR CRIT CONGLOMERATE AS FOUND

IN A WIDESPREAD AREA OF THE CLEAVELEAND HILLS INLAND OF WHITBY. 

It is interesting to note as elsewhere, nothing is mentioned of the Christianisation of pagan places undertaken by the Catholic Church. The age of the stone cannot be determined as being BC or AD.
