High Laver Puddingstone submitted by J_Russell on 24th Mar 2010.

There is no access to the stone, which is on private land, but it is visible from the churchyard.

Beauchamp Roding Puddingstone
Date Added: 20th Sep 2016
Site Type: Marker Stone
Country: England (Essex)
Visited: Yes on 14th Sep 2016. My rating: Condition 5 Ambience 4 Access 4
Beauchamp Roding Puddingstone submitted by Thorgrim on 25th Oct 2003. Legend tells that the stone stood on a hill top some distance from the intended site of the church. When the stone was dragged to this site to be incorporated into the church structure, it returned overnight to the hilltop. This happened three times and eventually the church was relocated and built on the hilltop so that the stone could remain undisturbed.

Date Added: 29th Sep 2017
Site Type: Marker Stone
Country: England (Essex)
Visited: Yes on 15th Sep 2016. My rating: Condition 5 Ambience 3 Access 5
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.

Marks Tey Puddingstone
Date Added: 29th Sep 2017
Site Type: Natural Stone / Erratic / Other Natural Feature
Country: England (Essex)
Visited: Yes on 15th Jul 2016. My rating: Condition 5 Ambience 3 Access 4
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.

Fordstreet Puddingstone
Date Added: 29th Sep 2017
Site Type: Marker Stone
Country: England (Essex)
Visited: Yes on 15th Jul 2016. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 3 Access 4
Fordstreet Puddingstone submitted by willowman1 on 17th Sep 2016. The other Ford Street stone mentioned is at TL 92048 26980, at the corner of The Old Bakery (a former shop), next to the Queen's Head pub. Where the black paint has worn away it can be seen that this isn't a puddingstone, and measuring only 40 x 20 x 5cm high, it's ridiculously small to have been a markstone.

Fordham Puddingstone
Date Added: 29th Sep 2017
Site Type: Marker Stone
Country: England (Essex)
Visited: Yes on 15th Jul 2016. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 3 Access 5
Fordham Puddingstone submitted by willowman1 on 17th Jul 2016. The stone now at the side entrance to Rams Farm, Fordham, moved from the farmyard in the 1960's. It measures 110 x 50 x 130cm high and is pure sarsen, with no sign of any pebbles at all - so it should never have been part of Rudge's 'Puddingstone Track'.

St. Botolph's Well (Hadstock) submitted by DavidCWoods on 8th Aug 2005. The well is described in the church guide as being covered by a pump; recent restoration work seems to have taken place, as there is now a low brick trough containing algae covered water.

Bradenham Puddingstone submitted by thecaptain on 20th Oct 2006. The village green at Bradenham is surrounded by lumps of the local puddingstone, a geological oddity related to sarsen, and of which lumps were thought to have been used as prehistoric trackway markers throughout the south of England.
