History
One of Malton's ancient historic sites, the White Horse of Chalker Park is a druidic symbol on the northern border of Foulkes Village. It is not known exactly when the White Horse was carved - indeed, the druids themselves may have simply found it and then used it to their own ends, rather than creating it themselves (druids being notoriously lazy, bearded old men).
It is recorded (according to the Annals of St Aelred) that human sacrifices were performed here, to appease the pagan spirits who were thought to demand the blood and brains of seven virgins each solstice.
