Inscription: SP (see below)

The 1838 tithe apportionment records nearly 80 acres of land in Uley, including land on the side of the Bury with the markers, was owned by Harry Keighly Peach (then a minor). It is possible that SP stands for Samuel Peach, who inherited land in Uley in 1776, or his son, Samuel, who inherited in 1791 (Bigland’s Monumental Inscriptions, which adds that “it was a small estate and now subdivided”), and that Harry’s land was previously theirs. — Boundary Marker, Uley Bury Credit: Mr Red

This sort of view is one of the reasons we paraglide. We can get interesting views of geographical features from the air as well!

Barn

The barn is on the opposite side of the road to Lower silver street farm, and I believe the red 'contraption' on the right is a threshing machine of some sort.
