Cut benchmark on buttress south east angle, north east face, of St Andrew's church, Great Finborough. The church spire has also been used as an intersected station.
"St. Andrew's stands in the centre of the village, in the former grounds of Finborough Hall and it is at least the third church to stand on this site.
Not many churches escaped unchanged in Victorian times. Some had only minor modifications but what started out as necessary repairs to St Andrew's gradually became a total rebuilding by the architect R. M. Phipson. Only the south porch was retained, and even that did not escape unscathed."
