A wider angle showing the full church. There is a benchmark cut into the east face of one stone buttress, and the mark is cut into the 1st and 2nd courses of stone and remains very clear and defined.

Footbridge over Holbecks Drain

This bridge came as a bit of a surprise after the one before which consisted of a rotten plank resting on the silt.

According to the OS benchmark database there was a benchmark cut into a concrete gatepost at this field entrance. Today there are no gateposts and it is likely the benchmark has been destroyed.

According to the OS benchmark database there was a benchmark cut into a concrete gatepost in this section of the lane-side hedge. The field entrance and gateposts have gone, and very likely that the benchmark has been destroyed.

According to the OS benchmark database there was a benchmark cut into a wooden post at this location. A newer wooden finger post has been sunk adjacent to the old post and covering the face which has the benchmark. I'm unable to say if the mark still exists, but highly likely.
