Mounting block, Besthorpe
The mounting block is set against the wall of the Lord Nelson public house.
These steps were an important feature in the days when horses were the common mode of transport. The ladies with their long skirts would have had great difficulty in mounting their horses (even side-saddle) without the aid of these steps.

Sign for the Lord Nelson
The Lord Nelson is the most common way of referring to Horatio Nelson, 1st Viscount Nelson (1758-1805) on inn signs. All in all one can safely say that there are more pubs named for him, directly or indirectly, than any other person. He was born at Burnham Thorpe Image, Norfolk, and died on board the Victory at Trafalgar. His naval career began in 1770, and by the age of twenty-one he was a postcaptain. He came to real notice in the 1790s, in the war with France. His destruction of the French fleet at Aboukir (1798) ended Napoleon I plan of conquest in the East. In 1801 he defeated the Danes at Copenhagen, but his greatest victory was at Trafalgar, where he destroyed the combined French and Spanish fleets. Before the battle he had hoisted the famous signal 'England expects that every man will do his duty'. In his private life Nelson had become involved with Emma, Lady Hamilton, wife of the British envoy to Naples. He left his wife for her, and they had a daughter, Horatia. Nelson had lost an arm in battle, and the sight of one eye, which gave rise to the famous instance when he put his spyglass to his blind eye so that he could not see a signal from his admiral to retreat. He went on to win the day against the Danes.
