Marker Stone in Kent
Back in the Saxon period a man named Cucola had a stone named after him. It is believed the stone was near the footpaths that cross near the Church in Cuxton. This stone, known then as Cucola's Stone formed the name of the village. Over the years it has varied slightly and included names such as Cuclestone and Cookstone to the present day Cuxton.
This also commemorates the Silver Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II.
A stone with a plaque on it is located near the entrance to Cuxtons Scout Headquarters. The plaque on the stone reads
"CUCOLA'S STONE
In Saxon times this village was named after Cucola who had a stone here
This stone was erected by CUXTON SCOUTS AND GUIDES to commemorate the Silver Jubilee of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II 2nd June 1977"
