Skerne, East Riding of Yorkshire

The village is situated 1 mile (1.6 km) to the south of the River Hull and the Driffield Canal.Three interior effigies, possibly, according to Pevsner, 12th- or 13th-century, are opposite the church door: a cross-legged knight holding a small shield, a woman shown within a quatrefoil, and between these a baby.Occupations included eleven farmers, a tailor, a flax dresser who was also a corn miller, and the landlord of the Board public house.[5] It was one of only 11 left in the UK without a bar counter, and served beer through a set of cash register handpulls.Prior to that beer was drawn directly from the barrels in the cellar and brought up in enamel jugs.
