cnosni wrote: Trig point exactly like one at Beeston Interestingly though not surprisingly, trig points are commonly found atop church towers - their height,certainly in times gone by, allowing the clear line of sight from one to the other necessary for the measuring instruments.To make life simple for those other than cartographers wishing to use these known height-reference points in surveying for building and so on, a bench mark will often be seen carved into the stone at the base of the structure. This takes the form of an upward pointing arrow under a short horizontal line. The prcise height of these was shown on Ordnace Survey maps and in published list.Although placed on what were considered 'permanent' structures, they are rapidly disappearing and certainly less used with the technology available today. end
