Tombs, St Thomas ? Becket churchyard, Box
The last burial took place here in 1896 following the opening of the town cemetery nearly fifty years earlier http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1443510 The tomb on the right has an unusual pyramidal structure above it. Word has it that the widow of the man buried there planned to celebrate his passing by dancing on his grave. To forestall that eventuality someone, a relative perhaps, erected the pyramid. There are no inscriptions on the grave, or none that are legible, so it is not possible to ascertain any more than this.

High road, low road
The junction of the High Street and the Devizes Road is acute. Right on the apex is this informative direction sign, way before Worboys style signs came along. Of course, there are lots of traffic lights and signs now.

St Thomas a Becket church, Box
A church was first established here in around 1200, but the current structure is almost entirely of a later date. The spire is a prominent landmark along the main road.

1GL Boltmark on Box church
A lovely old benchmark in the north face of Box's Thomas à Becket church. The lichen seem to be making camouflage for it. See http://www.bench-marks.org.uk/bm19692 for the entry in the Benchmark Database, and Image] for a location shot.

Tower style
The fine old church in Box has a number of additions to its original structure dating back over the years. The tower has an octagonal staircase that leads up to the upper level. In fact, the state of the belfry is of such a concern that the bell ringers actually pull the ropes horizontally now, having had them re-routed! See Image] for a bolt benchmark behind the metal railing.
