The boulder stands at the entrance Church View Gardens which was formerly the sculpture garden. A plaque provides information about the local geology. The boulder was presented by Tarmac and was quarried at Mountsorrel. Granodiorite is a granite-like rock which contains a high proportion of large pink crystals, giving the stone its characteristic colour.
