Here are the answers to this week's Sunday Picture Quiz. How well did you do?

1. Stump Cross Caverns

First discovered by lead miners in about 1860, this limestone cave system lies beneath Craven Moor, on the saddle of land between Nidderdale and Wharfedale.

The caverns, many of them filled with impressive stalactites and stalagmites, are thought to have been formed half a million years ago and are now considered a Site of Special Scientific Interest.

Bones found in the caves give a glimpse of life in Ice Age Britain, and include reindeer, wolverine and bison.

2. Stuffed polar bear, Masham

This fearsome-looking character is housed in a glass case in the White Bear Hotel in Masham.

The bear was was shot in Alaska in 1901 by John Cunliffe-Lister, 3rd Baron of Masham, the great-great-great uncle of the 4th (and current) Earl of Swinton, Mark Cunliffe-Lister.

The original pub was destroyed in 1941 by a German bomber returning home from a raid on Belfast, but was rebuilt in the nearby Lightfoot Brewery cottages, and the then earl donated the bear to the new pub.

3. Gilded eagles, Herald Buildings, Harrogate

These eagles may not be too familiar, as they've recently been regilded and are much shinier than they used to be.

But you might recognise the wall beyond, with its faded lettering. The Herald Buildings on Montpellier Parade were for many years home to the Harrogate Advertiser and its sister titles, including the Harrogate Herald.

The Slug & Lettuce pub took up residence on the ground floor for some years, but more recently the building has been comprehensively remodelled and converted into luxury flats with commercial units on the ground floor.

4. Sharow Cross, Sharow

This stone stump is all that is left of the Sharow Cross, which itself is the only relic of eight crosses erected on the roads approaching Ripon by King Athelstan in 937.

Each cross was placed one mile away from the cathedral, and the area inside them was designated the Sanctuary of Ripon, where fugitives could expect protection.

The sanctuary was known as the Liberty of St Wilfrid and was maintained by the church authoroities. That arrangement lasted until 1540, when the authorities maintaining law and order became secular.
