Abstract
TEN miles to westward of Bridlington Quay, in Yorkshire, is the much-neglected village of Wold Newton, situated, as the name indicates, among the Wolds. It is noted as being the place where the great Yorkshire aerolite—exhibited in the British Museum—fell on December 13, 1795, but more chiefly as being the birthplace of several phenomenal springs known as gypsies (the initial letter “g” pronounced hard). The gypsies of Yorkshire resemble the nailbournes of Kent.
