The advance party of four arrived at 9.00am and questioned
why we had turned up in the pouring rain. However, our spirits were quickly
raised by the arrival of Ian Curteis (owner of Markenfield Hall) who expressed
his thanks to the Walling Group for the work we were doing on the Park Pale.
We also learnt from Ian that the “Rogue waller” is fact
a local man from Ripley called David Cobble, who for the past six years has been
working on the perimeter wall around the hall.
On arriving at the work site we were joined by two late
comers (who unfortunately missed out on Ian Curteis’s greeting).
The full team today was now Graham, Paul, Richard H, Richard P,
Roderick and Tony.
