Sidedgar Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 What is the histroy of the whalebone hill on top of the hill between Grenoside and Outibridge? The is also such a namwe in Chesterfiels, presumably from whale jawbones from Hull; Also, the story of the medieval stone on the same hill - was this a parish boundary or a marked beween religious houses?
