Circa C19th Metal stile, located in the woods, on a footpath near Brockhurst School, Marlston.
Exact date not known but assumed C19th (Hedges Foundry ran from 1820’s, Kings took over the Foundry in 1908). Hedges is a well known local foundry, based in Bucklebury. They have produced a range of surviving local metal structures including pumps and grave markers. This is the only known stile, although another (not located) is mentioned by BIAG and may also exist in the area.
This is a quirky and unusual structure, in excellent condition and still in use on the footpath. It is possible it is a unique survivor made to Hedges own design.
