Laithkirk, Middleton-in- Teesdale. 

 Reported by the Rev. Wm. R. Bell. 



11 Shap granites. Mr. Bell remarks that all boulders in his district 

 occur in the valley of the Lune, and none in the Tees. Supposing the 

 boulders to have been borne in on ice from Shap Fell, the mountainous 

 ridge forming the boundary between Yorkshire and Westmorland (Lune 

 Street), at least 1,532 feet high, would have to be crossed; and, as the 

 mountain ridge between Lune Valley and Tees Valley in its eastern part 

 does not rise near so high, it might be supposed that a few boulders 

 would find their way here and there into Teesdale.
