Description

This milestone, likely from the 18th century, is built into the boundary wall of the Four Acres hotel on High Street in West Coker. It is made of ham stone and features a cast iron plaque that is bolted onto it. The stone slab measures 450 millimeters wide and approximately 200 millimeters thick, standing about 1.1 meters high with a triangular top that has a rounded point. The plaque is about 275 millimeters wide and 200 millimeters high, with a shouldered curved top, and it reads "III YEOVIL" in simple incised lettering. This milestone was probably erected by the Yeovil Trust, which maintained the road between 1753 and 1849, and is one of a set that still survives.
