This milestone on Ashchurch Road is one mile to the east of Tewkesbury. The plate on the milestone reads 'Tewkesbury 1, Winchcomb 9, Evesham 11, Stow 19'. It is just inches from the kerb of this busy road making it difficult to photograph. I had to wait for a break in the flow of the traffic to quickly get a photograph of it. I have driven past it many times, telling myself I must photograph someday, well today's the day. The milestone is Grade II listed. Historic England description Milestone. C19. Limestone with cast-iron plaque with inscription 'TEWKESBURY / 1 / WINCHCOMB / 9 / EVESHAM / 11 / STOW / 19' in raised Lettering on segmental-headed stone clm in height.
