Hi Mr and Mrs Hoo,For the second clue, I was thinking Horsehouse (in Coverdale) but can't see a connection with a four letter shallow receptacle.(Bowl, dish?)

Can you see Fountains Abbey for your second question? I can get font for receptacle and abbey for the building but I can't get the horse part. Any good?

Wow! What a wealth of suggestions. Thanks everyone.Seamer? Yup, could be. We'll think hard about that, along with Prince.I've thought about Horsehouse, but like you, can't bring anything else to mind. What it has reminded me of is a day, forty-odd years ago, when I was out with family and stopped for Sunday tea in the pub at Horsehouse -ham and eggs I think it was - and served in the parlour of the landlord's own accommodation. There was a piano in the room, and a lady asked if she might play it, and upon consent being given she played Syndig's "Rustle of Spring", no music, and on finishing closed the piano lid and went back to her tea and toast. An impressive performance which was duly applauded, but met no particular surprise. But I just can't imagine it happening now.But I've enjoyed recalling it.Can't make anything out of Fountains Abbey yet.Thanks for all suggestions.

Trough of Bowland is strictly Lancashire, I think, although Slaidburn's in Yorkshire as far as I know. It's part of the world that was affected by the 1974 boundary changes.

Back in the 80's there was a farm in Bishopdale that did ham and eggs, similar thing, in the parlour with the family photos and a very courteus daughter serving the food, family and farm life going around you, slightly odd and surreal but great fun

I think the second one is Thackray Museum.Shallow receptacle - traywith a horse 'in' it - hackT - hack - ray followed by a building - a 'museum'.

My first thought on the first one 'English and French" was mustard. Black mustard plants are grown in Yorkshire ... but I can't get a place from the clue!
