Carved head on Blidworth church
A 14th century carving incorporated into the north wall of the nave http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4015748 which was rebuilt in 1739-40.
The accidental juxtaposition of the stone to the right of the head gives the impression of someone swimming, the irregular bedding of the surrounding stones giving a watery texture.

Inverted bench mark, Blidworth churchyard wall
Inversion of a bench mark can mean that it has been taken off the list, but this one is specifically noted as inverted. Whether it was created like this, or the stone became inverted during reconstruction of the wall and was re-levelled is indeterminable. See http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4015744 for location.
