Description
The Travellers' Rest is a stone seat for travelling migrants, built in 1859 and designed by James Kendrick. It was donated by Thomas Lawton.
Made of red sandstone, the seat is located in the grass verge between the road and the canal towpath. It measures 63 inches in length, 22 inches in depth, and 16 inches in height. The stone is slightly domed in the centre to allow water to run off, spanning a width of 39 inches. At each end, the seat steps down by 6 inches to a lower section that is 12 inches wide and 10 inches high.
On the north face of the upper step, it is inscribed with the words ‘TRAVELLERS’ REST.’ Below this, it reads ‘GIVEN BY THOMAS LAWTON OF GRAPPENHALL./ 1859.’ The south face features diagonal tooling.
