Galleting at Volvens Farm

Seen in the wall of a farm outbuilding, now used as a garage. The wall is of local sandstone, with red brick trimmings. It is clear that the building has been refurbished, so the galleting may have been renewed relatively recently. The owner told me that he'd heard that in past centuries galleting was believed to ward off witchcraft.
