Today is the feast day of Saint Andrew the patron saint of fishermen, Scotland and Russia. The church of St Andrew, Middleton near Pickering dates to the Anglo-Saxon period, and still contains a good amount of Saxon architecture and early sculpture work.

We forget the reason why settlements on the edge of the Wolds like Pocklington have 10,000 years of occupation. When ice sheets melted following the Ice Age, the sea levels rose. York was under water as part of lake Humber and Pocklington & Market Weighton were on the lake edge.
