Ripon, Oct. 81,1819. Leeds Mercury, 28 April 1821: A remarkable phenomenon occurred at Bishop Monkton, near Ripon, on Wednesday week, on the estate belonging to Mr. Charnock. About two o'clock in the afternoon of that day, the attention of a person in the service of that gentleman, suddenly attracted by a kind of rumbling noise, which apparently proceeded from the stack-yard, distant not more than thirty yards from Mr. Charnock's house. He at first supposed the noise to proceed from some children playing and throwing stones against the doors and walls; but, on going into the yard, he was surprised to find no one there. On looking, however, up the avenue, formed by a row of stacks and leading to the house, he observed small portion of the ground in motion, which, after remaining in a state of considerable agitation for a few minutes, suddenly presented an opening of about a foot square, from whence issued a great body of water, which soon returning with the same violence and rapidity that marked its' first appearance, carried down with it a portion of the surrounding earth, several feet extent, which was instantly buried in the abyss below. The water, however, continued to ebb and flow, more or less, at intervals during the whole of that day. Mr. Charnock and another gentleman plumbed this subterraneous pit on the evening of the same day, when it was found to be fifty-eight feet in depth; the water has now subsided to remain settled within two yards of the top. Two large stacks were immediately removed, which, had it happened in the night, would have been swallowed up.
