Description
This octagonal granite trough, located about 8 metres east of the Vicarage Gatehouse in Hennock, is believed to be the socket-stone of a medieval village cross. The trough features a shallow circular hollow on top, with an outlet hole in the center and another at the front. It receives water from a cast-iron pipe that runs through the Vicarage garden wall. In front of the trough, there is a granite cobbled pavement bordered by a kerb made of large, roughly-shaped granite blocks.
