Staddlestone adjoining the north side of the church tower Of quite some age and a favourite feature, this lovely staddlestone is adorned by daffodils in springtime. I don’t know if this is the original position for it.

Bridge over River Troney The bridge is between two road junctions, so four roads converge on this crossing. To the north is Spreyton Wood Cross, to the south Quince Cross. The bridge is designed to become a ford when there is a flood. One of the wooden fence rails on the right is broken - the result of flooding?

Bridge near Spreyton Wood This footbridge provides a crossing when the road bridge becomes a ford, although the slope of the road suggests that water will flood the road where the photographer is standing. The stream rises in Blackdown Copse and is a tributary of the River Troney
