SP4779 : Benchmark on Harborough Magna Church
taken 9 years ago, near to Harborough Magna, Warwickshire, England
Benchmark on Harborough Magna Church
This benchmark was established in 1856 during the First primary levelling of England & Wales, and was levelled with a height of 391.6600 feet [119.3780 metres] above mean sea level (Liverpool datum). It was included on the Coventry to Lincoln levelling line (branch line from Stretton Toll House to Rugby). The surveyor's description was "Bolt in West face of tower of Harborough Magna Church ; 4.49 ft. above surface." The 1887 and 1905 maps show this mark on the north-west face of buttress, and the north-west corner of the tower. Although it doesn't appear on subsequent maps, probably because of the damage, it is easily found today.
