Sunday Picture Quiz Answers: August 2
Here are the answers to this week's Sunday Picture Quiz. How well did you do?
1. Footbridge, Bishop Monkton
This must be the most delicate little footbridge in the district. It spans Bishop Monkton Beck, which flows right through the village, providing visitors with endless photo-opportunities.

2. The Terrace at Harewood House
The view looking south from the Italianate parterre is thought by many to be one of the best things about Harewood House.
The terrace was built in the 1840s by Sir Charles Barry, who is best known as the architect of the Houses of Parliament, and looks out across a park landscape designed by Lancelot "Capability" Brown.
3. Wayside Cross, Grewelthorpe
This memorial cross was erected in July 2017 during the First World War as a call to the people for sacrifice and duty.
The cross itself was carved from oak on the initiative of the Reverend William G Howard, the Vicar of Grewelthorpe. The figure of Christ, with a crown of glory and his arms are outstretched in an attitude of blessing, was added in 1918. Above his head is the inscription 'Lift up your Hearts'.
After the discovery of rot in the wood, the cross was restored and rededicated in 2019, with the help of the parish council, local businesses, residents and the Royal British Legion.
4. Almscliffe Crag
This crag near North Rigton is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and is of national importance geologically.
It's made of millstone grit and was formed when the softer shale and mudstone around it eroded away. It is also thought to have been shaped by the ice sheet of the last Ice Age, which ended about 10,000 years ago.
