Buried in a hedge on land owned by the small minority of landowners who represent the non-custodians of the countryside (i.e. the couldn't care less brigade). This pillar is an object lesson in why such pillars should be given protected status

Access from parking on verge on Alpraham Green road and walking down field side or roadside hedge line - real easy log. Its slowly being devoured by the hedge so requires a well trained eye ! Managed to clear back the top of the pillar from encroaching hedge with Nozzer's snow shovel (He is from the Highlands where these devices get used, unlike the leafy lanes of Cheshire... So it had it's use in December if only for gardening) Pillar stilling owning all its metal work.

While driving through the area I spotted the blue triangle on my GPS map, so I went to investigate. Glad I did, a quiet lane and just a short walk to the pillar. The face that is visible looks fine.

Very nearly gave up on this one, despite excellent directions the hedge had grown a lot and bracken and nettles were rampant. Stung legs, hands and face getting this one, when a large nettle sprang back at me! Managed to clear most of the flora from the front to get a picture, but the top is lost to ivy and holly.
