Elliott's Rock by Black Brook Legend says that the early Victorian poet Ebenezer Elliott used to visit this spot and carved his surname on the stone shown here. You can still make out some of the letters. Of course the carving could have been done by one of Elliott's many acolytes. He wasn't the kind of man who paid much heed to self-aggrandisement.

Elliott's Rock, Black Brook This carved rock is associated with the early Victorian poet, Ebenezer Elliott (1781-1849). It is said that he often visited this place for quiet contemplation. I understand that the words "ELLIOTT'S ROCK" were once clearly visible but decades have passed since then and now it's hard to make out the lettering.
