It used to go through our garden until they culverted it, when they dug down, there was a narrow walled leat to a medieval mill further down the lane, you can hear the water crossing the lane here and tumbling down Gainsborough Gardens steep slope; probably a couple of thousand years ago it would have been a waterfall trailing through that narrow valley down to the old stones, thats why the spoons are there; a celtic sermonising monk met an untimely death at the hands of pagans..;)
