YORKSHIRE, Richmond, 1878, brass, the riding of the boundary around richmond april 22, rev. t shaw mayor and date, edge plain, 31mm, 9.68g (W –; D & W –); LANARKSHIRE, Lanark, Lanimer Day, 1897, bronze, crowned bust of Lanimer Queen left, rev. arms, edge plain, 31mm, 6.83g (cf. Brodie 226) [2]. About very fine, first rare; second pierced for suspension £30-£40 --- Provenance: D.B. Griffiths Collection [second from J.G. Scott]. Beating the bounds at Richmond, N Yorkshire, an ancient tradition dating back to 1576, still takes place once every 7 years. The perambulation, of approximately 14 miles, used to take place on Ascension Day. When the Crown established royal burghs the burgesses had to examine the march stones every year and report that all was well or ill according to what they found. The checking of Lanark’s March Stones has taken place every year since 1140. Although the Lanimer celebrations consist of nearly a week-long series of events, Lanimer Day itself falls on the Thursday between 6 and 12 June each year. The first of an extensive series of medals was issued in 1893 – the fifth issue is reflected in the obverse legend of this 1897 medal
