Which reminds me, have you come across the newspaper article regarding the laying of the foundation stone of the Percy Tenantry Column? (1816) - with grand ceremony the architect laid a glass tube containing medals and a vellum roll of all the Percy Tenantry Infantry, Cavalry and Artillerymen that served, 1,500 names, into a cavity in the base of the monument. Heaven knows who will be the next person to read that!
