oldman visited on 6th Dec 2018 Not That easy to find as the stones were covered in ivy and brambles. Managed to clear some of the ivy from some of the stones but would really need to go better equipped to clear away the brambles.

Stones outside the drive to the Old Vicarage, Churchill Village. Quite easy to find, right in the centre of the village.
