A rectangular map set in the churchyard next to the wall and visible from the High Street by just looking over the wall. Rather weatherbeaten but still legible.
Map shows The Huskar Memorial Trail. Nearby in the churchyard is the Huskar Memorial to the children killed in the mine disaster,1838.
Fifteen boys and eleven girls ages from 7 to 17 years old were drowned by flood water.
