II
Boundary marker. Date uncertain but probably medieval. Sandstone post.
Rectangular with elliptical panel with bas-relief of a running greyhound.
Above, later inscribed initials read 'M W P'. The stone is built into a
dry-stone wall. The stone is mentioned in accounts of the boundaries of
the parish of Thurlstone in the time of Henry VIII, and of Langsett in 1695.
It is also mentioned in the Enclosure Act of 1814 relating to the parishes of
Penistone, Langsett and Thurlstone. It is thought to have been moved between
1816 and 1820 to mark the boundaries of William Payne and Lord Melbourne the
former purchasing the manor of Langsett from Lord Melbourne in 1814. It has
been suggested (Dransfield) that the initials 'M W P' refer to these names and
were added at this time. In 1984 the stone was moved back to its original site
according to the 1814 documents.
