A home in Low Worsall, near Yarm has been storing a funeral cart which was used for many years until around 1900 and has been wheeled out for many a village history exhibition. Sometime in the last week of February someone stole the cart which has been described as priceless and of great sentimental value to the villagers.
I find it a real shame that this important part of the village life doesn't appear to have been widely photographed or at least they are not available online, but if someone offers you an old wooden cart make sure you know where it came from.
