The seat is by the junction of The Ridings, Boot Street and Laughton Hill. Immediately above it is a Memorial erected to commemorate Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee in 1897, and the opening of a water works in the village. Above that is another Memorial commemorating the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II in 2012. There used to be a water tap here but that seems to have been removed. In the hot summers of the early 1890's the local water wells had frequently run dry. A local waterworks was the answer to this and was funded by the villagers and the Duke of Marlborough, who also provided some of the materials.
