SK 91 SE PICKWORTH Lime Kiln (OS Ref SK988138) 2/191 II

Historic note: John Clare, the poet, reputedly worked as a limeburner here in 1817. From his earnings of 9 shillings a week he saved enough money to buy a book in which to write his poems. But he was dismissed by his employer for wasting time 'scribbling'.
