Under the tree is a stone pillar enclosed by railings overgrown with vegetation. The inscription reads: UNDER / THIS OAK TREE / JOHN WESLEY / PREACHED / A.D. 1777 / C.H. BARHAM / TRECWN. / A.D. 1877 It was erected in 1877 to mark the centenary of John Wesley's visit to the Barham family whose house formerly stood nearby. The monument is in poor condition and not signed or publicised in any way. It seems sadly neglected. See https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/442467
