Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
Again, sorry, no. Clue, strictly speaking it isn't a chisel.

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
Is it a wedge? Used for splitting courses of brickworks? Would a steeplejack use it?

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
China has got it. Not for brickwork, for splitting joints in flanged pipes mainly but any mechanical joint. Nice one, not many people know that! [As a matter of interest China you can't 'split' joints in the brickwork of a chimney, too much weight on them. You have to cut them out.]
Next one?
Next one?

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
That tells us something about how well joints in Chinese flanged pipes fit together!

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
Now now Peter.... that's an unwarranted assumption. Most of the flanges he worked on would be western!

I know where it is, and I can name the lady in the white top because she is a friend of mine but I'm not sure of the event.

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
Is it the well in the churchyard at Thornton in Craven. Possibly a revival of pilgrimage, is it called Sprinkling? People are in costume.

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
I can't see a name on the image!
It is the well at Thornton in Craven and I'm wondering if this was an opening ceremony of some sort after the Earby & District Local History Society had finished their restoration project.

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
Didn't want to tax your brains too much hence the hidden clue. Thornton St Mary's Holy Well.
Stanley is nearest with the purpose. Sprinkling. I'm sure Wendy knew because I remember her saying her friend was at the dedication event.
I thought they were getting rid of grandma and a few kids down the well.
Restored
In 2006, the community won a lottery grant to carry out the work on the well house, and to provide the curving path for wheelchair access, plus the paved area around the well and the low wall/seating area. Since its restoration early July there is an annual celebration at the well and sprinkling has been done at the well
“Quod Publicæ Saluti bene vortat H: RICHARDSON RECTOR Fontem hunc salutiferum et perantiquum Tecto munivit Anno Æræ Christianæ MDCCLXIV.”
Which translates as:
“That it might prove a benefit for the health/salvation of the community, H. Richardson, Rector, built a covering for this health-/salvation-giving and most ancient font/spring, in the year 1764 of the Christian era.”
All seems a bit ify to me, the water level of the well is 12 ft below the burial level. Sprinkled with what??? High Spirits.

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
Ex Libris - as they say in more pompous circles.
I have a book called HENRY RICHARDSON (1710 - 1778 ) Life and Legacy of a Thornton Rector. I find it is published by Earby Local History Society, so I'm sure Wendyf will know it. There's a lot on the well, and its history. The lady in the wheelchair is called Alice Ormrod.
They mention in the book, one of my favourite records. This is my favourite version by Ian and Sylvia. - don't ask me why.

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
The same thought struck me Ken. Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "Plenty of body in that!".

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
Yes Tripps I have a copy of Derek Clabburn's book about Henry Richardson and we have copies still for sale if anyone else would like one! The Well Project was finished before I became involved in the History Society so I missed all that excitement!

Not on mine either
