By jove. I think I might have it.

This picture is of a stone that is positioned opposite the Post Office in St Neots on Bodmin Moor.

It is a Mortar stone from a medieval tin stamping mill and bears the impression of the stamps. It is possible that the stone lintels surrounding it were nicked from a church.

And if that is correct, I would like to credit this information to Janet from Sennen. An anoracked stone watcher.

Good work Hen, you really are a quiz master of some repute!

10 points for getting it right but you lose a couple for calling it St Neots which I think you'll find is in Cambridgeshire! ST NEOT!!!

Also glad you have explained what it actually is.
Anyway, credit to Janet from Sennen where it's due!

More than happy to be educated in the linguistics of the Cornish, chris.

I've already passed my thanks on to Janet. I believe the exact words I used were: "You BLOODY LITTLE BEWDY!" The highest praise an Ozzie can give!
