When visiting East Yorkshire take time to view the Rudston Monolith
The tallest standing stone in Britain, at just under 8 m in height, with a circumference of 5m. The pointed top is protected with a metal cap. Dragged from Cayton or Cornelian Bay 16 Km to the north, the stone weights an estimated 40 Tons. The stone was erected in approximately 2000 BC, and its depth into the ground may be as much as its height! An oft-quoted legend recounts how the Devil threw the stone at the church and missed. There are many websites with details of this unusual object. Search Google for some further interesting facts and pictures of it.
