Description
Milestone Number 8, located south of the Newton parish boundary, is a Grade II listed milestone. It is a carved limestone block that has been painted white with black inscriptions. The milestone features a crescent in a shield with the inscription 'VIII MILES TO CAMBRIDGE' and includes a pointing finger. This milestone is one of sixteen that were placed along the old Cambridge to London road, established by William Warren between 1727 and 1732, following the bequest of Dr. William Mowse, who was Master of Trinity Hall from 1552 to 1553, for the maintenance of roads in the Cambridge area.
