A sarsen stone has been erected in the churchyard of St Nicholas' Church, among the other graves, and marked with a plaque commemorating "Walker Miles", the famous rambler. The plaque reads:
Walker Miles - Edmund Seyfant Taylor [1853-1908]
This is the Bourne to which the footpath led
This is the Spot uncharted i his Works
t'was come upon so suddenly;
but ever will remember be
As were he takes his peaceful rest
