Natural Stone/Glacial Erratics in Essex
Three puddingstones lie by the lakeside in Hatfield Forest. They were moved when the Old Woman's Weaver was dammed to form the lake. It is claimed that the stones were part of an alignment from Hatfield to Wandlebury via the Newport Leper Stone, Mutlow and Littlebury. (see Sacred Stones of Essex).
