The Old Coach House
In earlier times this house was on the steep road that ran down into Camerton village; the modern road is a short distance to the west of it now. On the corner of the building is an unusual feature - a pair of benchmarks! See Image] for a closer look at this rare happening.

Doubled up in Camerton
An unusual occurrence: a pair of cut benchmarks in close proximity. The OS database only records the one mark, although it may be that one was considered unreliable for some reason. Interestingly, old maps show the mark over many years but with a slightly different height given between 1886 and 1904 - more so than other marks nearby. Perhaps this indicates the appearance of the second mark?
See https://www.bench-marks.org.uk/bm104077 for the entry in the Benchmark Database, and Image] for a wider view of the old building.

Accuracy and authenticity on St Peter's
A cut benchmark, as listed in the Benchmark Database: https://www.bench-marks.org.uk/bm104078 , on the south wall of St Peter's church tower. Not content with the mark, the height above sea level (342 ft) is also inscribed in the stonework. Sadly the lighting does not enhance the clarity. See Image] for a wider view.
