In the rectory garden at Stanhope, County Durham, was a Roman altar to the god Sylvanus, erected by one Veturius Micianus in gratitude for the capture of an enormous boar (ob aprum eximiae formae) which predecessors were not able to take. It may be remarked here that bones of the red-deer, the roe-deer and the wild boar, as well as those of cat- . tle and sheep. are abundant in the excavated "dumps“ of the Roman forts.

A man, by‘ name Pollard, took up the c allenge. armed himself. and rode out to where the boar had its den in Etherley Dene.
