MURDERS AND MYSTERIES FROM THE YORKSHIRE DALES

Softcover. The author investigates the truth behind a miscellany of mysteries, including a number of unsolved murders. Some of these stories reflect the brutality of our forebears: the harrowing story of Mary of Romanby, the death of Robin Hood, a medieval murder by a deranged monk. Others concern the quaint and curious : the 1000yr. old swastika carved on a rick near Ilkley; Mary bateman of Leeds whose hen laid eggs bearing the words, 'Christ is coming'. Includes a topographical description of each location. With Map and Index. 190pp. softcover. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. F.
