Lastingham

In Lastingham we met the Bishop who had returned after 30 years in Latin America. An amiable fellow with an Inca type bobble hat on, he chatted with us a good while before announcing.
"Please excuse me, I must go, I have funeral to attend to."
As we walked back across to our bikes we saw the funeral party awaiting in around the grave.
A 10th century cross shaft with interwoven Viking designs in the crypt at Lastingham.
