Once one of a pair at a country house, adapted to become a milestone many years ago, and relocated to the corner of High Street and Station Road. Over the years the inscription eroded, to become almost illegible - distances to London (81), (Market) Harbro (5) and Kettering (6). Local members of the Milestone Society (http://www.milestonesociety.co.uk/ ) are paying for its professional refurbishment - one face is finished. The stone is listed by English Heritage: http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/details/default.aspx?id=398166
