Having visited, this turns out not to be a puddingstone at all, but a sarsen.

The other stone mentioned, once at Hyde House, is now gone. The entire garden was completely re-landscaped in about 2010 in a Japanese/'zen' style. Although many boulders were used in the design, not one of them was a puddingstone.
