Benchmark in Congleton Park
The benchmark is on a larger stone within a low wall close to the river bridge. It isn't shown on any large scale map I have consulted. It may just have been used as a local benchmark for laying out the park, rather than part of the Ordnance Survey's national network.

Not a stone or metal plaque, but a flower bed. Its form is less easy to see in the autumn but it looks as if it forms the figure of a bear (the town's symbol).
