Autun visited on 16th Aug 2022 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 3 Access: 5 An easily accessed and quite impressive Puddingstone, situated right next to a small road... It is situated outside of the property gates, and can therefore be admired with ease.

Fordham Puddingstone
Fordham Puddingstone submitted by willowman1 : The stone now at the side entrance to Rams Farm, Fordham, moved from the farmyard in the 1960's. It measures 110 x 50 x 130cm high and is pure sarsen, with no sign of any pebbles at all - so it should never have been part of Rudge's 'Puddingstone Track'. (Vote or comment on this photo)

The stone that Dr. Rudge reported as broken, in the yard at Rams Farm, was moved and re-erected in the 1960s to TL934288, on the verge at the side entrance to the farm. [Updated]
It's sarsen though, not puddingstone, and can be seen on Street View here:

    It should be noted that, for some reason, Rams Farm Lane, beside which this stone stands, is no longer accessible on Street View.
