Map

Stack of limestone colonnettes, set each side of the door of the house from at least 1978. In 1993 onto one remained in that location, the others being used to edge flower beds. By 1995 two alone remained, set each side of the door again. The owners at that time were unaware that there had once been more than two colonnettes and thought that they had come from a demolished Victorian porch. However, they are clearly 12th-13th century. Did they come from the parish church or are they from a collection?
