I have visited· I would like to visit
graemefield visited on 1st Jan 1977 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 4 Access: 5 I see from the google street views the residents have ruined what was a pretty little stone in a leafy shaded minor road turning, into what i can only describe as a mess. Why the need for a kerb of painted stones and a giant red brick house sign? Am also certain that this stone has a small cross incised upon it, but like i say it was 1977 and i was only 8!
A sign beneath it notes:
"This boundary stone dates from before the Norman Conquest and is possibly a prehistoric standing stone. Situated on this corner since time immemorial, it was moved to its present position during road widening. This plaque was donated by local residents in 1976"
It is said to move or turn when the church clock strikes midnight. An unlikely event as the church does not have a clock!
