Description
The Four Shire Stone is a boundary stone located at the junction of the boundaries of Gloucestershire, Warwickshire, Oxfordshire, and formerly Worcestershire. It is made of ashlar limestone and dates from the mid to late 18th century, with 19th-century lettering. The stone features a square column set on a moulded plinth, topped with a cavetto moulded capping and a block/ball finial at the apex. The south face of the stone has an inscription in capital letters reading "THE FOUR SHIRE STONE WORCESTERSHIRE," while the west face states "GLOUCESTERSHIRE," the north face "WARWICKSHIRE," and the east face "OXFORDSHIRE."
