This is the only surviving milestone in the Cholsey boundary; there were two but the other disappeared when they built the bypass. This one has Wallingford 2 miles on one side and Reading 13 the other. There does seem to be something else but I can't make it out. The mile stone is shown here rather overgrown from the last time I took a photo of it. Had to rip off the Ivy to see what was written.
