Brinklow - Benchmark

Church of St. John the Baptist

Broad Street, Brinklow Village

(near to Coventry)

In the photograph above, you will see a white arrow

that shows the location of a chiseled horizontal

mark that surveyors have made in the stone

to serve as an elevation reference.

It is difficult to see above - it looks like an

arrow pointing up to a line and I believe it dates back to 1856. 

The church is much older than that.

Below is the benchmark at the Council House, Coventry.

When I noticed the benchmark on the 

Council House, Coventry,  I hoped wondered if I had

discovered a secret coded message of sorts.  Of course, it was

nothing like that.  This benchmark in Brinklow is the 

second one I have found.  I'll show you the 3rd tomorrow.

In the meantime, enjoy the view from the churchyard

(similar to the one I shared on 1st April.)

Interestingly, this church isn't the only church around

here to have a blue door.
