White Notley Puddingstone submitted by Thorgrim on 27th Jan 2005. One of the most colourful stones on the Puddingstone Trail. This stone marks the crossing of the infant River Brain. Located by Stanfield Farm and indicating just how rare and significant large stones were in this stoneless landscape - the farm was called Stanfield (stone-field)because of this stone standing in a field.

Vikings Mound
Date Added: 11th Jul 2017
Site Type: Artificial Mound
Country: England (Norfolk)
Visited: Yes on 1st Jan 1977. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 4 Access 4
Vikings Mound submitted by willowman1 on 26th Sep 2016. Also once known as the Bubberies and Quidenham Mount, this mound is said in local legend to mark a battlefield and/or be one of the many resting places of Boudicca, "with all her jewels". In fact it's almost certainly the motte of a small 12th century castle, built to guard the nearby ford of the river Wittle. Nowadays, it's much more overgrown and hard to see than it was when I visited and photographed it (poorly) in the late 1970's.

Marks Tey Puddingstone submitted by Thorgrim on 27th Jan 2005. A puddingstone boulder is said to be buried at the foot of the church tower, but I could not find it. However, lumps of septaria (a softer limestone conglomerate) have been used in the construction of this Saxon church. The absence of building stone in Essex is shown clearly by the mixture of rubble, septaria and flint with re-claimed Roman tiles and bricks from a nearby villa.

Lady Well, Woolpit submitted by ermine on 4th Oct 2004. The actual site of the well is difficult to find, as it feeds a moat so there is a lot of water about. This brick enclosure is the well itself.

Log Text: A dismal place. Calling this a 'well' is a disservice to other wells. Nothing more than mud, bricks and mdf boards.
