This bench mark was established in 1849 during the First primary levelling of England & Wales, and was levelled with a height of 153.0970 feet [46.6640 metres] above mean sea level (Liverpool datum). It was included on the Worcester to Aberystwyth levelling line. The surveyor's description was "No. 19. Mark on front of Lloyd's Charity School ; 2.10 ft. above surface" (Public Abstract p.550). The mark is easily found at the south end of the main building, facing the road.
