Nineteenth-century benchmark on the Red Lion
This bench mark was established between 1850 and 1856 during the First primary levelling of England & Wales, and was levelled with a height of 376.0090 feet [114.6075 metres] above mean sea level (Liverpool datum). It was included on the Basingstoke to Coventry levelling line. The surveyor's description was "No. 150. Mark on the front of the Red Lion Inn, Long Compton Village; 2.78 ft. above surface." (Public Abstract p.238)

Common fields met here once
In the Middle Ages, each village had several common fields. The fields were ploughed in strips creating the "ridge and furrow" pattern so often seen in the North Cotswolds. Here is an excellent example of the boundary between two common fields and the nearest sheep is standing on the boundary. Immediately in front of the camera, this field has been ploughed in an east-west direction whilst beyond the sheep would have been another common field where the ploughing is in a north-south direction.
