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

1. RAF Menwith Hill

An easy one to start with. RAF Menwith Hill has been leased to the United States since the mid-1950s. Originally called Field Station 8613, it became operational in June 1959.

Staffed mainly, although not solely, by US personnel, it played a key role in the Cold War, gathering signals intelligence on the Soviet Union and other Warsaw Pact countries. 

Today, the 605-acre facility in Nidderdale still serves as a global listening station, intercepting communications for the US and allied intelligence services.

2. Saxon Cross, Follifoot

This grade-II listed 9th-century carved stone cross was restored in the 19th century and has stood in the village for well over a thousand years.

Crosses like this served in the Middle Ages as waymarkers, gathering points and places of religious observance, especially during outdoor events such as markets.

3. Ledger stone, Ripon Cathedral

This commemorative stone was laid in 2022 at the entrance to the cathedral's quire, and was dedicated to St Wilfrid at a service attended by the Archbishop of York and the Bishop of Leeds.

The stone's installation was prompted by the 1,350th anniversary of Wilfrid building his church on the site that would later become Ripon Cathedral. Incredibly, his crypt remains and is open to the public.

4. Courthouse Museum, Knaresborough

Standing in the grounds of Knaresborough Castle is a 16th-century building that served in Tudor times and beyond as the local courthouse.

Open to the public, you can still see the original dock and other features, as well as a wealth of artefacts that give insights into the system of justice and punishment in centuries past. Well worth a visit.
