Description
Boundary stones shown on the 1864 First Edition Ordnance Survey Plan. These are marked B.S (boundary stone) along the historic parish boundary. The stones were installed following the removal of the hedgerow/boundary feature itself when the park lands were laid out. The historic boundary also angles at what was evidently an ancient thorn tree growing upon the boundary line.
