9/42 Milestone
27.5.68
GV II
One of the 16 milestones on the old road from Cambridge to London set up
by W. Warren in 1728-32 under the bequest in 1586 of Dr. W. Mowse,
Master of Trinity Hall, Cambridge 1552-3 for the upkeep of roads in and
about Cambridge. This, the 16th milestone, was set up on May 29th 1728
at a cost of £6.0.0. It is a freestone pillar about 2m high, square with
a rounded pyramidal cap. In low relief to front are 2 shields of arms,
those of Trinity Hall and of R. Hare, Mowse's executor. Below is an iron
plate with a segmental head, affixed c.1804 possibly to design of McAdam
for the Wadesmill Turnpike Trust. This reads 'LONDON 35/WARE 14/CAMBRIDGE
16'. (W.B. Johnson, Industrial Archaeology of Hertfordshire, 1970,
p.110-11).
