Postbox, village notice board and telephone kiosk. The kiosk still retains a telephone but is in need of a coat of paint. The postbox (ref NG23 119) is a standard GVIR pillar box. Fellow Geograph contributor Chris Downer informs me that this is an early version from this reign. It also seems that the postbox was only installed at this location following the closure of the local Post Office in the 1990s (the latter was situated across the Caunton Beck from the churchyard) so the GVIR cipher gives an entirely false indication of the date of installation.
