Cathedral of the Wolds

This is the grand title given to All Saints Pocklington, jut a few miles east of York, off the Hull road. The Sotheby Cross in the churchyard tells us that St Paulinus preached here AD627. Though the foundation is Saxon, most of the present building dates from 12th to 15th centuries. Some Norman stonework has, however, survived. The Wolds are the relatively low, rolling hills of East Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire.
