Possible standing stone in Blakemere. Built into the church wall, used as a gatepost, recently had the ivy removed and caught my eye so took some photos to see what other people think, its near to other prehistoric sites such as Dorstone Hill, Arthurs Stone, Peterchurch, Wern Derys etc. could be nothing but looked out of place to me.
Blakemere is not noted in the Doomeday book, the church was originally 12th century, but after a very destructive fire it was rebuilt in more or less the same style in the late 19th century.
