The corner stone of the Hunters Rest Inn was selected in the twentieth century for an Ordnance Survey benchmark. Over the course of time the inn expanded so this is no longer at the corner; the stone has also suffered some degradation. See https://www.bench-marks.org.uk/bm78863 for the entry in the Benchmark Database and Image] for a wider view.
