Guide stoop at Ackworth, looking north
This guide stoop was probably erected in the eighteenth century. The law required that the next market town be shown, but there was little standardization so in this case the places mentioned appear to be behind the viewer. This means that this is either not the original site, or that users were expected to understand the strange orientation.
