Milestone. C18. For the Stevenage-Biggleswade Turnpike Trust (founded 1720). White freestone probably Portland stone. On roadside verge, a milestone about 15 inches square and standing about 39 inches out of the ground. The top cut as a blunt pyramid, with broad arrow cut in rear facet of top to mark an ordnance Survey benchmark. On E face an inscription in deeply cut C18 lettering '34/MILES/from/LONDON'. Marks of weathered inscription at rear suggest stone reversed when inscription required re-cutting. (Branch Johnson (1970)187).
