St. John's or Little John's Stone (destroyed)

Standing Stone / Menhir

Miscellaneous

Very interesting item on St. John's stone included here. Pastscape say's that the area around the stone got used as the city's rubbish tip before being redeveloped for housing.
The article also mentions "part of St. John's Stone now sit inside St. Luke's Church in Stocking Farm, Leicester". I also note that "there were alter stones at Barkby on Ridgeway, in Markfield on Alterstone Lane and in Parker Drive, off Blackbird Road"."There was also something in Enderby, she said, an old mistletoe bush worshipped by the druids."
