A second order cut benchmark on the entrance porch of St John the Baptist church, Billesdon. North west angle, north face.
"The church of ST. JOHN THE BAPTIST is built of ironstone with dressings and some facings of limestone ashlar. It consists of a chancel, an aisled nave of four bays, a north porch, a south vestry, and a spired west tower. The south aisle and the vestry are additions of 1864 and the tower was rebuilt three years earlier.
The earliest parts of the building are the base of the tower and the north arcade of the nave, both of which were probably built before 1250."
