Madresfield Court

Viewed from Lady Howard De Walden's Drive on North Hill. The court, currently covered in scaffolding, has been the ancestral home for several centuries of the Lygon family, whose eldest sons took the title of Earl Beauchamp from 1815 until 1979. It is the real location for Evelyn Waugh's "Brideshead Revisited".

Bench mark on milestone

This milestone is a Grade II listed structure, and the depression on top is probably the remains of a "pivot" bench mark established in 1844 during the First primary levelling of England & Wales, which was levelled with a height of 60.1740 feet [18.3410 metres] above mean sea level (Liverpool datum). It was included on the Manchester to Gloucester levelling line. The surveyor's description was "No. 393. Mark on top of the 4th milestone from Worcester, and 6th from Upton-on-Severn ; 2.54 ft. above centre of road." (Public Abstract p.35)

OS bench mark on milestone

This milestone is a Grade II listed structure, and the rivet on top was formerly an Ordnance Survey bench mark. A bench mark was originally established on this stone in 1844 during the First primary levelling of England & Wales, and levelled with a height of 124.008 feet above mean sea level (Liverpool datum). It was included on the Manchester to Gloucester levelling line. The surveyor's description was "No. 395. Mark on 5th milestone from Worcester ; 1.85 ft. above centre of road." (Public Abstract p.35)

Milestone in layby

This milestone (a Grade II listed structure) is on the east side of a bypassed portion of the old road, now a layby. A nineteenth-century benchmark on top, shown on old maps with a height of 66 ft above Ordnance Datum (Liverpool) appears to have been filled with cement at some stage. The 1904 map shows a north pointing arrow, which conforms to the shape of the cement fill.
