St Lamberts Church Burneston
This church was built in three stages – the chancel c1395, the tower c1410 and the nave 1450-1550. It is a grade 1 church and has magnificent medieval stonework, a nave full of 17th century oak pews and some beautiful Victorian woodwork and stained glass and a lot of well weathered some potentially grotesque carvings.
Carl Wark Hill Fort
This is a hill fort of unproven origin, best thought to be Iron or Dark age in date. Bronze Age artifacts are also close by and show a long general occupation of the area. The primary purpose for this visit was to investigate the possibility that it was used by the Brigantes during the period of Cartimandua and, if so, to try to assess its role between 43 and 70 AD.
