Countersett

Countersett is the largest of the three settlements in Raydale, around Semerwater in the Richmondshire district of North Yorkshire, England. It is in the Yorkshire Dales to the north of the lake. The Boar East and West were once one farm, and before that a pub called The Boar Inn. The date 1667 was above the door, along with a Latin inscription which translated as "Now mine, once thine, but whose afterwards I do not know" (ref. Wensleydale, by Ella Pontefract, Dent & Sons, 1936)

Countersett Hall was built in 1650 for Richard Robinson, the first Quaker in Wensleydale. It is a stone built Manor House with slate roofs. Illicit Quaker meetings were held in the Hall before the building of the nearby Meeting House. George Fox, a founder of the Society of Friends, stayed at Countersett Hall in 1652 and 1677.[1]

Countersett was featured in the British television series All Creatures Great and Small, in the episode "Two of a Kind".[2]

gollark: If you have the private key, you can generate signatures for any startup. You don't, though. The stuff written onto disks *also* has a UUID embedded (on the more complex ones), which is part of the signed bit.
gollark: The signatures are programatically generated from the contents of the file and my private key. PotatOS has the *public* key, so it can verify that the signature was generated from the corresponding private key.
gollark: Um, no, that's not how it works.
gollark: Quick summary:- valid disks contain a signature file and a startup- the signature can be in the old table format or hexadecimal- only disks where the signature is valid for the code on them are executed
