Re: Natural or Induced? Pickering to Wheeldale
Aug 27, 2012, 16:10
Very fine indeed, the Pickering paintings.


Yup, couldn’t get a link for the churches’ website but for anyone interested just Google ‘Pickering Church’ and their website should be the first to pop up. Bit beyond the remit of TMA but the paintings really are fantastic and well worth a ganders. And while in the area what about the Wheeldale (Roman) Road? Supposed to be late Roman but that doesn’t feel right somehow (and the info board suggests that it might actually be pre-Roman). Felt more ceremonial to us...

As for atheists in the prehistoric – good question but few and far between I’d think. You were either part of the clan, sharing its beliefs and traditions, or you were out of it. Doubt if hermits back then would survive for very long on their own but that’s where we might expect to find people on the verges of society and thinking for themselves...
