Description

A milestone, probably erected in its present location in the early C19 but dating from 1745.

MATERIALS Limestone.

DESCRIPTION The milestone takes the form of a carved pillar of limestone with a square-section shaft and a pyramidal cap. The front (south-east) face bears the inscription: WHITEHALL/ 4/ MILES. Further inscriptions to the north-east and south-west faces both read: ROYAL/ EXCHANGE/ 4 ½/ MILES. The top halves of the three inscribed faces are slightly set back, apparently having been re-carved in the C19 and possibly again after the Second World War.
