On the west side of the B1228 in Elvington where Dauby Lane leads off is this stone inscribed with YORK, which is to the left, north, and HOWDEN to the right, south. On each side face hidden by the burdock plants is KEXBY. Why is Kexby on both sides? The stone was painted white with black lettering in about 2008 Image but most of it has weathered away.
