About 200 metres west of the village next to the ruins of a windmill, a view point sign and a beacon. Great views to the west although a little misty at the time. Extra points for views and history of the town itself. Starting point for walk to Blackland Wood but too dark to get decent photograph so pictured on return.

Pleasant spot overlooking low-lying ground to the west. Boundary stone, fire basket beacon, remains of an old stone bldg (windmill?). Plenty here. Pillar retains an original centre cap, deeply indented lettering; rear sight hole open. Very pastoral. Picked up a handful of benchmarks nearby.

Parked near the New Inn and walked the 425 metres to the pillar. Great views all around on this very clear day. Pillar was brilliant white on our last 'proper' visit nearly ten years ago, we have noticed gradual deterioration since then on numerous 'drive-bys'. On return to Winchelsea we spotted a very well-defined cut bench mark on the corner of Herys House, facing the main A259.

The beacon, the ruins of the St. Leonard's Mill and the trigpoint
The remains of the mill and the pillar.
Nice and clean !


The contrast here makes the pillar looks like it has been 'energised' by a force within ! That's the town of Rye on the distant horizon above the trig.
