LONGNOR B5053 Milestone South of Longnor Market Place
II
An early C18 stone waymarker with later ball finial. The south facing side reads BAKEWELL (with hand pointing to the right) LEEK (with hand pointing to the left). The east facing side reads BUXTON (with hand pointing to the right) ASHBURN with hand pointing to the left). The north facing side reads LEEK (with hand pointing to the right) BAKEWELL (with hand pointing to the left). The hands used to depict the respective directions are gauntlet clad.
HISTORY: This stone waymarker is believed to have been erected between 1709 and 1711 and therefore predates the later C18 expansion in the formal road network as a result of the introduction of turnpike legislation.
REASONS FOR DESIGNATION DECISION Stone waymarker south of Longnor Market Place is designated at Grade II, for the following principal reasons: * A particularly well preserved example of an early C18 stone waymarker * It stands in close proximity to a large number of listed buildings including a cross * It is similar in character to the distinctive Derbyshire guide stoops
