Churchill Standing Stone

Standing Stone / Menhir

baza Mar 27, 2004

This stone stands on the B4450, halfway between Churchill and Chipping Norton, in the northern roadside hedge. Usually, it’s difficult to find, being swamped by the hedge; however, on my latest visit the hedge had recently been cut, freeing the stone from its green prison. To my dismay, the stone had been trimmed, too, with loose flakes lying on the top.

The hedges clearly haven’t been cut for some time and I couldn’t spot the stone. Parking would be a bit tricky even if I had the time for a proper hunt – which I didn’t!
