Height: |

A "window" has been cut into the rendering around the base
of the church allowing the mark to be seen. Even then it is difficult to
identify the mark so the datum line, arrow and bolt have been identified with
grey lines and a red circle on one of the photos. The bolt is in good condition
but the cut mark has almost completely disappeared.
