Stainforth parish boundary stone MYD35675 (c) YDNPA, 2023

An early 19th century parish boundary stone made from a single slab of local slate. It is about 1 metre high with the upper edge carved into a triangular point. It is inscribed “GIGGLESWICK STAINFORTH” separated by a vertical line. It resembles the more common form in the area composed of two separated but adjacent angle-topped slate slabs.
