Description
Milestone number 9, located on the west side of High Street in Fowlmere, is an 18th-century carved limestone block that has been painted white with black inscriptions. The milestone features a crescent in a shield with the inscription 'IX MILES To CAMBRIDGE', along with a pointing finger and defaced Roman numerals. This milestone is one of sixteen that were established along the old Cambridge to London road by William Warren between 1727 and 1732, as part of a bequest from Dr. William Mowse, who was Master of Trinity Hall from 1552 to 1553, for the maintenance of roads in and around Cambridge.
