The physical challenge arose (slightly) from the 600&#8242; climb to the summit of Burn Moor, and (significantly) from the moorland vegetation and bogs. But not, to the relief of all, from the weather, which was perfect.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 50%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div data-carousel-extra='{&quot;blog_id&quot;:1,&quot;permalink&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/www.tathamhistory.org.uk\/wp\/?page_id=606&quot;}' id='gallery-3' class='gallery galleryid-606 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-medium'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.tathamhistory.org.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/handout-text.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"249\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tathamhistory.org.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/handout-text-300x249.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-3-456\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tathamhistory.org.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/handout-text-300x249.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.tathamhistory.org.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/handout-text-1024x849.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.tathamhistory.org.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/handout-text.jpg 1881w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" data-attachment-id=\"456\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.tathamhistory.org.uk\/wp\/?attachment_id=456\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.tathamhistory.org.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/handout-text.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1881,1559\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"handout-text\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Two early descriptions&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.tathamhistory.org.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/handout-text-1024x849.jpg\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-3-456'>\n\t\t\t\tTwo early descriptions\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.tathamhistory.org.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/handout-map.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"211\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tathamhistory.org.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/handout-map-300x211.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-3-455\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tathamhistory.org.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/handout-map-300x211.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.tathamhistory.org.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/handout-map-1024x720.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.tathamhistory.org.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/handout-map.jpg 1852w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" data-attachment-id=\"455\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.tathamhistory.org.uk\/wp\/?attachment_id=455\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.tathamhistory.org.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/handout-map.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1852,1302\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"handout-map\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Boundary map based on 1847 6-inch&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.tathamhistory.org.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/handout-map-1024x720.jpg\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-3-455'>\n\t\t\t\tBoundary map based on 1847 6-inch\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Click either image above to enlarge<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Standing on the boundary near Fourstones House, John described what is known about the history of Burn Moor, and of the boundary. There had been, over the centuries, a number of attempts to define the exact position of the boundary by written descriptions. The production later of large-scale maps required that those words be turned into lines, and that required identification of the features mentioned. Repeating that feat was one of the aims of this expedition, and provided an intellectual challenge to rival the physical one; working out locations from unpunctutated archaic descriptions full of archaic place-names would be hard enough without the added distraction of a modern fence which cheerfully ignores the geographical boundary as it marches up the moor.<br \/>\nHowever, John was equal to the task, and, resolutely refusing the lure of fences and convenient nearby grouse-shooting tracks and paths, led his party up through bogs and knee-deep heather and tussocks, pausing only to allow Mike to explain the different status of the moorland in Lancashire (stinted enclosure) and Yorkshire (common), though many walkers also stopped frequently to admire the excellent views &#8211; over Hindburndale to the Forest of Bowland, and over Wenningdale to the Three Peaks and beyond. Near the summit stands the Standard of Burn Moor, three of whose four faces were inscribed in the 19th century with the letters T for Tatham, B for Bentham and N for Newby &#8211; now Clapham-cum-Newby.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif;\">After a brief detour to the trig pillar, a well-defined path though the heather was followed down to the shooting hut, where the party, refreshed after the easy descent, spurned the access track in favour of a more direct route across the moor, back to the starting point.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>See menu on right for past events from other years 2015 21 Nov.
