The British Heritage website states the following:
Milestone. C18. Tooled Portland stone. Square in section with
pyramidal top. Engraved inscription on side reads "10 miles to
Whitehall".
Unfortunately it is not very straight, see photos, I visited it on a very busy day so never had enough time to have a proper look but it was either struck by a car or vandals tried moving it (unlikely).
It is very old, post-medieval no less.
Condition: Distressed
Date placed: 01/01/1800
Material: Stone
Inscription:
10 Miles to Whitehall
Name of road: A24 London Road (Stane Street)
