This stone looks like a palaeolithic venus figure. Situated opposite the church on the junction of the High Street and Paper Mill Lane, it is garlanded on May Day when the villagers commence a procession and hold their fete in the main street. Next to it is an oak planted to commemorate the coronation of King George V.
