Full Description
Milestone, to south of Blickling Park.
Rectangular with cornice and chamfered corners. Incised 'Blickling House 1 mile Holt 10 miles'.
Interesting as not connected with a turnpike road but apparently erected by owners of Hall.
(S1) dates this example as 18th century and NHER 31289 as 19th century though both appear to be identical.
Note also reference to Blickling House rather than Hall.
