The cairn, by Richard 'Escher' Shilling, was constructed over three days in late October, using millstone grit from mine spoil in the immediate area. Stunning work – I hope it lasts!

Update 26/11/09: It won't. The Westminster Estate has instructed Escher to dismantle it and create no more artworks on their land (and the Duke is possibly the primary landowner in Northern England). I'm deeply disappointed.

Quernmore Church (St. Peter's) is in the valley, with the village school to its left.
