Retracing tbeir steps from the "Buttertubs" as far as the 

 little village of Simonstone, the party who had visited them 

 walked thence by the village of Sedbusk back to Askrigg. The 

 evening was spent pleasantly by the two parties in telling over 

 all that had interested them in their respective rambles. 



I had been of the party which took train to Hawes and visited 

 the "Buttertubs." Mr. Howse was of the party that walked 

 from Askrigg to Hardrow and Hawes, and has kindly furnished 

 me with the following account of the doings and observations of 

 the latter party. 



"Under the guidance of Mr. W. Home, of Leybourne, who 

 had kindly offered to be our Wensleydale Guide for one day, we 

 made an early start for Hardrow and Hawes. Passing through 

 the churchyard at Askrigg our attention was directed to a rather 

 novel piece of praise on one of the tombstones. At the end of 

 many other complimentary expressions the epitaph ended with 

 these remarkable words — 



" He was an honest attorney."
