It looks like a Royal Mail postbox, and anyone not local and in a hurry might well post their mail here. But this is actually a mailbox for Chapel Farm, and is set into the wall of the entrance drive. It may be a genuine original sold off as surplus to requirements, or it could be a replica, as several companies manufacture and sell these for private use. The design is one used during the reign of George V (1910-1936). There is a notice saying post for Chapel Farm only and also a no collections sign! There is an official Royal Mail postbox nearby, near St. Kenelm's Church. See:- Image Image
