Gate posts of long demolished chapel

Image: © Nigel Aspdin Taken: 17 Aug 2008

Gate posts of long demolished Wesleyan Methodist chapel, with Inn Farm in the background. Note the benchmark, as clean as the day it was cut (1880s?). The stone of the pillars is not local and it seems the wall, beautifully laid, may have replaced the original wall which probably had railings on top of a lower wall. The current wall may be of the stone salvaged when the chapel was demolished. The gate posts themselves may also have been moved, as in an Ordnance Survey map circa 1900 the benchmark appears to indicate the mark round the corner on the main Kedleston to Hulland road.
