Mounting block at New Inn Manor, Widmerpool
The notice records the legend that the famous highwayman Dick Turpin rode his horse, Black Bess, up the staircase of the Manor. The bench mark shown here http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3825914 is just above the floodlight.

Bench mark with bolt, New Inn Manor, Widmerpool
This was a significant mark during the primary levelling of England and Wales, 1840-60, as it was mark on the Coventry to Leicester line (along the Fosse Way) where a separate line to Derby via Nottingham branched off.
The mark has suffered badly from erosion of the soft ironstone, so that the arrow has almost entirely disappeared (the end of the right hand stroke can just be distinguished) and even the datum line is now very shallow. If it had not been for the bolt, I don't think it would have been possible to recognise it as a bench mark. See http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3825919 and http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3825917 for location.
