Description

The milestone on the boundary wall of Horseshoe Farmhouse dates from the late 18th century. It is made of Bath stone and features a cast iron plaque that has been plugged on. The stone measures about 350 millimeters wide and 250 millimeters thick, standing approximately 950 millimeters high, with a roughly rounded top. The plaque itself is 320 millimeters by 260 millimeters, with a shouldered semi-circular top that has a diameter of 280 millimeters. The early 'incised' lettering on the plaque reads "BRUTON" in a curved head and "3 MILES" in the main section of the plaque. This milestone is a well-preserved example, and the Bruton Trust, founded in 1756, took responsibility for the Bruton to Warminster Road in 1793.
