Catrinm visited on 28th Oct 2023 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 3 Access: 5 Stone moved from the town - was sanding in pics in museum. Information plaque.
The original location was a meeting point of the three Domesday Manors of Tewington, Trenanace and Treverbyn. There is a theory that it may have originally been a Bronze Age standing stone.
