Terraced houses flank the Bell Inn, with the endmost house bearing some faded carved stonework. In the nineteenth century this corner would have had a benchmark, but it has since been lost and another mark made on the Sunday school nearby. Are these marks the old cutmark or are they some initials of the builder/owner? See Image] for a wider view.
