Description
Mid-C18 direction stone to the north of Middle Chinnock village at the junction of Smith’s Hill and Smoky Hole Lane.
MATERIALS: Ham stone.
DESCRIPTION: a direction marker dating from 1745 with pointing hands cut into the stone surface. The stone is approximately 130cm high, tapering from 36cm by 30cm at its base to 33cm by 28cm at the top. The hands indicate the direction to named principal destinations; the distances are not included. On the south face of the stone the upper inscribed cuffed hand points east to EAST / NNICK (believed to be East Chinnock). Below, another hand points west to CREWKE/RNE ROAD. On the east face another cuffed hand points north above the inscription YEOVIL / ROAD with a further illegible word below. Below this is a date which appears to read 1745.
