Description
The White Stone and a fragment of its base are located immediately to the east in Withington. This inscribed shaft is believed to date from around 1700, although the exact date is difficult to determine due to damage to the inscription. The stone is made of sandstone, roughly square in shape, measuring about 10 inches on each side and standing approximately 3 feet tall. The inscriptions are barely legible, with the south face reading "HERE/FORD." The base fragment is heavily eroded.
