Estate Boundary Marker re-erected at the side of a woodland path outside Mill Dam Cottages in Elnup Wood between Standish and Shevington. Inscribed E T S / 1806 and T D H / 1806 on opposite faces. Its original location is unknown. It lay for many years in Mill Brook, the boundary between Standish with Langtree parish and Shevington parish. Research has revealed it is the marker for the boundary between land owned by “ETS” Edward Towneley Standish, the Lord of Standish Manor from 1778 to 1807 and “TDH” Sir Thomas Dalrymple Hesketh, the 3rd Baronet Hesketh of Rufford from 1796 to 1842, who owned land in Shevington.
