Adjacent to the stone used to stand a public pump and there was at one time a similar, but smaller, stone which lay alongside the first. Jon-Paul suggested that it would be informative for locals and visitors to have a plaque on the railings explaining the stone’s significance. The Society successfully applied for a small community grant from Wellingborough Borough Council and, although there was some delay while the railings were painted, the plaque was erected earlier last year. The Society is very grateful for the Council’s financial support.
