**Brent Pelham** submitted by Thorgrim : This larger slab of puddingstone is now used as a base for the war memorial. In reality, it is a fossilised river bed laid down long before the Ice Ages. Look closely and you will see highly polished round pebbles set into the incredibly hard cement-like matrix that was once the sand and mud of the river bed. (Vote or comment on this photo)
