Some Pocklington Cottages

Unusually for a town of over 7,000 inhabitants, Pocklington â€“ known locally as Pock - in the East Riding of Yorkshire is set away from all the main roads in the district. Perhaps this is results from the townâ€™s antiquity â€“ there is plenty of evidence nearby of Iron Age and even Bronze Age settlement â€“ predating any road system. St Paulinus is said to have preached in the town in AD627, according to an inscription on a medieval cross found in the churchyard. The church, All Saints, dates from the 12th to 15th centuries, but there are still reminders evident of the Saxon building before the current one.
