Description
Stone seat for travelling migrants, of around 1860, designed by James Kendrick.
MATERIALS: red sandstone.
DESCRIPTION: standing partially buried in a private garden to the north of the road.
The stone has an overall length of 63 inches, a depth of 22 inches and an overall height of 16 inches. The stone is slightly domed in the centre to shed water, across a width of 39 inches; at either end it steps down by 6 inches, to a lower seat 12 inches wide, and 10 inches high.
The stone is inscribed TRAVELLERS’ REST on the east face of the upper step; the inscription including, in gothic lettering, COME UNTO ME SAITH THE SAVIOUR, and a probable date, is currently (2022) obscured by the ground which is level with the top of the lower steps.
