'The plough was made over 100 years ago at the Hunton foundry in Carbrooke. In 1911 the foundry was taken over by T H Page.
The Page Hunton Foundry became East Coast Castings in 1985. The plough was bought at auction by a Carbrooke resident who recognised its unique value as a piece of local history and donated it to the village. It was renovated at HMP Wayland before being painted and bolted in place by staff of Carbrooke Hall Estates and local farmer Nigel Webster.

The plough has been mounted on a new flint and brick plinth constructed by local builder Tony Everett.'
