One of the seven 'parole' stones set up in the early 19th century around Ashburton to mark the limits within which French officers, who were billeted in the town as prisoners of war, were permitted to roam.
Photographed by Brewer but he was unable to locate in 1989. Aparently removed by the owner of a newly constructed house on the Woodland road, near the entrance to 'Hawkes', for cleaning. It was re-erected by the roadside opposite his house. In June 1990 it was returned to its original site in a hedge.
