Try this one for size, then.
This is a bit of a walk from the town centre but it is still within the boundries. But where is it and, more importantly, what is it?

Nope. Try looking towards the east.

Re: Try this one for size, then.
Is it up the Coppice? Sure I've seen something similar up there when I've been out with the dog. Have no idea what it is though..

Re: Try this one for size, then.
Closer, but you need to go a bit further east. Perhaps 'The King's Highway' might help.

Re: Try this one for size, then.
This is a tough one Bob......offhand, it could be several things. it's obviously a large, flat, heavily-weathered stone, with inscription at an angle to the rectangular, resting in a grassy area and possibly covering a hollow of some form underneath..

1) A ripped-out milestone........but I doubt it. the lettering would be to the vertical, given the stone would be half set in the ground.

2) An old gravestone...........no, lettering wrong again.

3) Possibly a covering for a well.....and the writing suggests it could say "Mary Hug? Well"....(but my eyesights knackered, so I can't be sure)...I'd plumb for something like this.

Where it is, I have'nt a clue.............it's definatly not in Church so it must be over the far east of Accy somewhere.

Re: Try this one for size, then.
Hmmm.. I'm not so sure that is an 'official' inscription. Looks more like graffiti to me....?

Re: Try this one for size, then.
I'm more convinced it could be a well (just forgetting the inscription).....the type of grass surrounding the stone is the sort that does grow in the vicuinity of a pond or a stream..

Re: Try this one for size, then.
I must admit, I've never heard of "Mary Hoyles Well"....but if it's for real, then I now suspect that this is it...the stone covers a spring outlet to stop any animals soiling the water....there's definatly a hollow underneath which I suspect would have been larger at some point in time.

Who was Mary Hoyle, anyway?
