Geocache Description:


This is the 84th in the series of caches set out to celebrate that wonderful Great British establishment, the pub.

South Kilvington is a village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England. It is situated just off the A19, about one mile north of Thirsk.

The village is mentioned in the Domesday Book as Cheluitun in the Yarlestre hundred. The entry refers to the area that was owned by Earl Edwin at the time of the Norman invasion and then granted to the Crown. Henry Percy, 4th Earl of Northumberland was supposedly killed here in 1489 by a mob of protesters against taxation.

In the 19th century South Kilvington was widely known for its village idiots who became a popular spectacle for visitors (according to William Allison in his book "My Kingdom for a Horse! Yorkshire, Rugby, Balliol, The Bar, Bloodstock and Journalistic Recollections" published in 1919).
