Horse stone The Mortimer Road Turnpike first enacted in 1771, renewed 1792, failed by 1813.   Named after Hans Winthrop Mortimer, Lord of the Manor of Bamford.   It failed because it didn't make any money and didn't become an important route.   But it was very hilly!   Extra horses were needed and had to be paid for to help carts and carriages up very steep hills, so a stone such as this 'Take off' was placed at the top.   This one is about 30m north of the 16thC Strines Inn which is 1015ft above sea level.  
The stone is Grade II listed 1203771.
