The flush bracket is to be found on the north west wall of the Church of Sts Peter and Paul. For a view of the church http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2063565 and for further information on the flush bracket http://www.bench-marks.org.uk/bm19049 A bench mark is an Ordnance Survey arrowhead sign found on walls, bridges, churches and specially erected triangulation pillars where the altitude above sea-level has been accurately measured by surveyors. The arrowhead points to a horizontal line above it which marks the exact altitude. With rivets and pivots there is no datum (horizontal line) cut, the pointed-to horizontal surface defining the datum height.
