Monument record MDR12123 - Stone stile near Lower Mill Farm, Whitwell

There are seven locally distinctive stone stiles in the Whitwell area. They probably date from the 19th century and are all located on footpaths which are marked on the 1875 Ordnance Survey map. All are step-through stiles which combine one or more steps with a slab set within a gap in the wall. A photograph of the example near Lower Mill Farm indicates that there are two, possibly three, steps up to the slab, at least on one side of the wall. One corner of the slab has been broken off. (1)
