BOUNDARY MARKER AT SO7800446737

The boundary marker located at Cockshot Road in Malvern is a Grade II listed post, dating from 1897. Made of cast iron, it features a canted top and consists of two panels set at right angles. The relief lettering on the marker reads "BOUNDARY/ OF THE/ CLERKENWELL/ PROPERTY/ W. ROBSON J.P./ T.H. BRINTON/ A MILLWARD J.P./ H.W. FINCHAM/ CHURCHWARDENS/ 1897."

This marker is part of a group of boundary posts that were erected to define the Clerkenwell estate, which was gifted to the poor of the parish of Clerkenwell in London by Sir George Strode in the mid 17th century. Originally, there were twenty-five such markers, as shown on early Ordnance Survey maps, but the estate was gradually sold off during the 20th century.

The significance of this boundary marker lies in its status as one of several 19th and early 20th century cast iron posts that delineate the Clerkenwell Estate. It remains intact and is situated close to its original location, contributing to its good group value with the other markers. This particular marker is notable for its unusual design, as most in the group are predominantly round-headed and single-faced.
