Mounted in what looks like a recently pointed buttress on the end of a barn backing onto Church Street, this nice example of an Allen box is recently de-rusted and painted. The coping stone and brickwork look original but the 'buttress' has obviously been added after the barn was built - the brick courses do not line up!
