Close to the church

A small brickwork feature on The Street, close to the old Methodist church, bears no information. Could it have been a marker for the old coal pits (on which Bishop Sutton grew in the past), or perhaps as a reference to the preachings of John Wesley, who is said to have visited in September, 1782? Then again, it might just be a garden feature of no especial interest.
