An ancient stone in Saint Austell town, now lying flat in the churchyard. It was originally situated at the junction of Fore Street, Church Street and Menacuddle Street (now part of North Street). The stone was a focal point for announcements, declarations of war, proclamations of peace, public notices and for the sale of any impounded livestock. The plaque says it has been moved twice and there is a photo of it upright in the tiny town museum.
