Stone near Thorn Tree in Bagtor Wall, No.32 in series
Notes: Dave Brewer’s description: “The 1835 Records direct us, from the Blacksmith’s Shop, ‘and thence in a straight line to a stone by a thorn tree near Bagtor Wall’, and then follow ‘the boundary of the old enclosures allowing a deer’s leap on the Bagtor side to the Crownley Works’; in 1853 ‘to a Thorn Tree at Crownley Works’. The stone is a slab lying on the bank of the cornditch wall inscribed ‘B’ and ‘I’ on its upper surface, near a larger than average tree, but not a thorn tree.”
SX 7668 7590 given by Brewer, but is probably more like SX 7633 7600.
