Hangman Stone
II
Boundary stone. Probably early C18. Sandstone. Roughly shaped monolith approximately 1.25 metres high, standing on low stone base. The west face is inscribed "T D", for Thomas Duncombe, former Lord of the Manor of Helmsley. The stone recalls a man carrying a stolen sheep with its hind legs tied around his neck. When he sat down to rest, the sheep slipped backwards and hanged him.
