    This motto was on the first postcard I ever bought showing the map of Yorkshire, & the 3 wise monkeys above the motto....something I've never forgotten. We also have a family tradition of singing on Ilkla Moor Baht 'at on re-entering God's own county.....even my daughter-in-law has learnt the words. :)
