Jewellery
Jewellery (British English) or jewelry (American English) consists of small decorative items worn for personal adornment, such as brooches, rings, necklaces, earrings, pendants, bracelets, and cufflinks. Jewellery may be attached to the body or the clothes. From a western perspective, the term is restricted to durable ornaments, excluding flowers for example. For many centuries metal, often combined with gemstones, has been the normal material for jewellery, but other materials such as shells and other plant materials may be used. It is one of the oldest type of archaeological artefact – with 100,000-year-old beads made from "Nassarius" shells thought to be the oldest known jewellery. The basic forms of jewellery vary between cultures but are often extremely long-lived; in European cultures the most common forms of jewellery listed above have persisted since ancient times, while other forms such as adornments for the nose or ankle, important in other cultures, are much less common.
St John and All Saints' Church, Easingwold
Inside the church the arcades are supported by octagonal piers. The church contains a monument dated 1713 with Ionic pilasters, a broken pediment and a hatchment. The two-manual organ was made in 1903 by Abbott and Smith of Leeds, and was restored in 1990 by Principal Pipe Organs. There is a ring of eight bells. The oldest and heaviest five bells date from 1788 and were cast by Robert Dalton, one bell dates from 1887 and is by John Warner & Sons, and the latest and lightest two bells were cast in 1950 by Gillett & Johnston.Citations
