The Needle's Eye

The Needle's Eye, Wentworth built in 1780 or earlier - no accurate date exists. Legend has it that the 2nd Marquis of Rockingham had the monument built to satisfy a bet that he could not drive a horse an carriage through the eye of a needle. Most likely though is that is a marker point or resting place on an old private road to Wentworth Woodhouse.
