Millennium Monument, Poling Corner
Image: © Simon Carey Taken: 13 Apr 2009
Unveiled in 2005 after funds were raised solely by the villagers. The side facing has Poling 2000 carved into it whilst others out of view have an oak tree, St Nicholas' church and poem entitled Paling not Poling celebrating the original Saxon name of the settlement which has changed little over 1500 years. The top remains empty but has been left flat with the idea that something suitable might be added in the future.
