There are a number of carved stones built into this wall, from buildings which no longer exist. Apparently it was found that gas was leaking from infill in an old quarry where they were situated, and they were demolished. The stones are presumably located where the buildings used to be. This one comes from the old village hall; it was built as a school in the 19th century but was out of use by 1902. At this point it was purchased by Sir John Brunner (of the Brunner-Mond chemical empire, late ICI) and given to the village as a village hall.
