Monument record 7384/1/4 - Crick Milestone

Probable 19th-century limestone milestone with a new iron plaque. Locally listed.

{1} On the south side of the A428. A limestone milestone approximately 1m x 0.5m x 15cm, in a 'semi-dressed' state of working. The top half of the stone's front is fractionally recessed and has three fixing holes for a cast-iron plate.

[SMR note 10/05/2011: location is marked on first edition OS mapping.]

{2} This small ironstone milestone probably dates to the 19th century and has been restored by the Parish Council with a new iron plaque. It is a feature of the roadside on Main Road, and provides evidence of its history as a turnpike.
