⟁ Member's Supplement: All Saints', Rudston and the Monolith

The standing stone at Rudston has occupied this spot for around 4,500 years. It weighs forty tonnes and rises to nearly eight metres (and almost the same length beneath the ground). Across the surrounding fields lies a ritual landscape: the traces of four cursus monuments - long, parallel earthworks that once framed processions or gatherings. All of them converge here, at the monolith.
