    There is a place called Hope in Durham and Richmond (Rich - mound, perhaps) is somewhere below it...

    Clutching at straws here!

    2. "Below Why Of Memory". Is this a visual clue - Is "memory" written somewhere and what is below the "Y".

    If you google images of The Constable Tomb, the word memory appears on that and below the Y is the S in Constable.

    Sorry to bump, but is anyone else still thinking about this one, as it ends soon. I'v had a few more ideas, but nothing that has actually got me anywhere.

    A few more thoughts after a bit of googling:-

    St. Saviours Hospital (Bury St. Edmunds) dates from 1184

    1184 x 1.5 = 1776

    John Constable (The Copper?) born 1776

    Artful Locations related to Constable's paintings in Suffolk?

    Dig Holes for Soap = Sudbury?


    I think the link between George Samson and St Saviours is that it was built by Abbot Samson. Therefore the maths above DO lead to John Constable. Can't get further yet but I think we're definitely on right lines and that's reassuring at least!

    Totally agree with Constable and the area. Leaning to around Flatford Mill - one of his paintings. also this is a well known arts and craft area. Artful also can mean crafty. but where. have tried galleries, all sorts and cant tie it up into four words matching the letter spaces, maybe someone else has an idea

    I think that "below why of memory onwards with Hope" refers to the "S" on Constable's gravestone, which is below the "Y" If you go onwards from the "S" you get "Stable". But I don't know what onwards with Hope means. I was thinking of say a famous person called Hope, but Stable Bob got me nowhere. The only other thing that I mulled over with the Stable connection was a biblical connection. Perhaps the currency in the next line could be Gold as in Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh.

    ''Bars'' is of course the maker of the famous IrnBu if that is any help,
