THREE PICTURES: Friends Meeting House Mounting Block

Mounting blocks were used to help riders mount their horses. This example was provided in the 18th century for worshippers at the Friends Meeting House. The main structure is brick, but the three steps have stone treads. There is a space inside for storage. The top of the block is spanned by a stone lintel. The structure is recognised separately by English Heritage, which listed it at Grade II on 23 February 1983.
