Open Plaques is quite smart. When a few plaques have been geolocated it will use the average to define where this area is.

If you would like to see the map a bit sooner then you could help us.

Just find 'Middleham, United Kingdom' on Google Maps and tell us the .

We will extract the geolocation. Probably.

Middleham, United Kingdom

This cross is thought to commemorate the grant obtained for Middleham in 1479 of a fair and market twice yearly, in Whitsun week and at the Feast of St. Simon and St. Jude, by Richard Duke of Gloucester, later King Richard III. The heraldic animal may be his own cognisance of the white boar, or the emblem of the family of his wife, Anne Nevill, co-heiress of the Lorship of Middleham.
