An ancient Seat of Judgement found in the picturesque village of Leighton Bromswold. One of 4 that were originally in the area. Just 1 mile off the A14, near a good Real Ale pub, so worth a break :)
Drive into the village near small rolling hills until you get to the Green Man pub and turn right. A couple of hundred yards down the tree lined road you will find the stone on its plinth in front of the Church. There are a couple of benches for you to sit down on facing the leafy road but not facing the Church.
The Church does not seem to have any real distinctive features apart from the drainpipe which has to be seen to be believed (or look at the photo!).
I could not find the original location of the stone, as it has been moved to its present location.
