Small stone built into the corner of a house in Clarington Mews. It may have been used prevent damage to the wall but none of the other buildings have any such as this ? I was told that it was originally there and was just used. The reason for its name is that people would make a wish and place a stone on the rock as an offering. Many stone are still to found there showing its continued use.
