A blue plaque on the right states that 4 St John's Court was a medieval hall. St John's Church http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4216734 is in the background.

The monument is eleven years old and is starting to weather nicely so blend with the rather older tombstones and graves. Visible are symbols and scenarios mostly but not necessarily associated with the town. These include a hot air balloon, a helicopter, a tractor, a lollipop lady, a train leaving a tunnel, a canal boat and a Nativity scene.
