with its surrounding slate seat, in one of two outdoor
features erected in celebration of the Millennium
in the Civil Parish of Lower Allithwaite.
The project was led by one of the Millennium Mappers
George Airey, and work was carried out by architectural stone mason
Edward Waller, and local builder John Burrow.
It was financed by public grants and proceeds from
the sale of Millennium Parish Maps, which can be seen in
Cartmel Priory & St. Mary's church Allithwaite.
Dedicated by Father Robert Bailey, vicar of Cartmel Priory
on Sunday 3rd November 2002,
it is now held in trusteeship for the community
