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

ashvillecollege-clocktower

1. The clocktower at Ashville College

This imposing tower is part of the main original building at Harrogate's oldest private school. Ashville was founded in 1877 as a boarding school for boys, but started accepting girls in 1982.

The school now has around 800 pupils, including 100 boarders.

2. The Pietà war memorial statue, Ripon

This beautiful sculpture stands outside St Wilfrid's Roman Catholic Church in Ripon, and commemorates all the men of the parish who were killed during the First World War.

Pietà refers to a theme in Christian art depicting the Virgin Mary holding the dead body of her son, Jesus Christ, after his crucifixion. The image represents the sacrifice made by the dead, and the deep grief of the mothers and others who loved them.

3. Challenger tank, Harrogate

This intimidating vehicle is the first thing young recruits see when they first arrive at the Army Foundation College on Penny Pot Lane.

The college accepts over 900 16- and 17-year-olds each year, who train for six or 12 months there, depending on which corps or regiment they plan to join. Many receive basic, phase-one training before going to other places, such as Catterick, for trade-specific training.

masham-stmarys-crossshaft

4. Anglo-Saxon church cross shaft, Masham

When it was carved over 1,000 years ago, this stone pillar in St Mary's churchyard would have supported an ornate cross. Now, only the seven-foot-high base remains, topped with a lead cap to prevent erosion.

Sadly, the weather has already done a lot of damage over the centuries, and the intricate carvings are difficult to decipher. Some images have been identified, though, including the Adoration of the Magi, Christ and the Apostles, and a baptism scene.
