"The church at Edlesborough in Bucks is on a high promontory."

I have seen that too its about 10 minutes drive from me. On the subject of Yew Trees and Churches there is a Yew Tree in the garden of the house next to the church in Wing, Bucks (where I got married 3 weeks ago). Wing church claims to be the oldest Saxon church in England - not sure of any megalithic activity there tho - would need to go back and have a look. However I am curious about the church in neighbouring Soulbury which is built on a rise/mound? and there is a stone (not sure if is a standing stone across the road from it - again further investigation required by young Joolio here

All the best Joolio

Found the stone across the road today, during a drive around Bucks in the sun.

Bit of an oddity, it lies slap bang in the middle of a side road about 50 yards north of the church, emerging from the tarmac with no markings or warnings of any kind. I've uploaded a picture to the Portal (as Natural Stone or Glacial Erratic in the absence of any evidence to the contrary), under Soulbury. If anyone thinks it's more than that, let me know and I'll upload it here too.
